5.1 Configuring the network settings of the ePowerSwitch 8XM with the Finder Program

Remarks:

The ePowerSwitch 8XM and the PC used to configure it, have to be connected on the same segment of the

network. The protocol of this program can not be routed so it can not be used to configure the ePowerSwitch

through a WAN or the Internet.

8XM (for security reasons for example).

segment on which is connected your PC and displays the name, the type, the IP and MAC Address of

the connected ePowerSwitch.

box appears and you can now configure the network parameters.
