Edit Network Configuration
1. From the Control Panel, open the Network Configuration utility.
2. From the Adapters tab, click on the Properties button.
3. Supply an IP address. (This is the IP address referenced in ProTool and ProSave.) * If you obtain an IP address by choosing DHCP, you must restart the multi panel and type ipconfig at the MS-DOS command prompt in order to see what the address is. * If you specify an IP address, you must use one provided by your network administrator if your multi panel is part of an Ethernet network. You can only create your own IP address if your multi panel is not networked, and in that case you must use a crossover cable connection between the multi panel and the configuration computer.
Edit Transfer Settings

2. Under Channel 2, select Ethernet from the list box.
3. Select the Enable Channel check box.
