5.0 SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
The System can be controlled via the Web Server on the Z3-MVPR-02. It can also be controlled via the serial
port.
5.1 PC SETUP
Initially, the simplest way to setup the networked PC to communicate with the Z3-MVPR-02 is to put
the PC on the same subnet as the Z3-MVPR-02. The IP address of the Z3-MVPR-02 can be found on the
bottom side of the Z3-MVPR-02. The Windows PC can be setup on the same subnet by using these
parameters:
NOTE: The static IP of the computer cannot be the same as the static IP of the Z3-
MVPR-02
Microsoft Windows users
