NOTE:
If your ETC ONE PLUS has both the Ethernet and modem network interfaces,
the eXpertPower client uses one of these for connections to the
eXpertPowerTM server. The default Ethernet network gateway address
defines which one of the networks is used. If the default gateway address is
not defined (i.e., it is set to 0.0.0.0), the ETC ONE PLUS uses the dial-out
modem connection via your local Internet provider. If you defined the default
network gateway address, any call to the IP address, which is not included in
the address space of the both networks, is redirected to the default Ethernet
gateway.
