Using MC2+ when connected to a PC
Before you can start testing, you must configure MC2+ to
match the network you are going to test. MC2+ can store
up to 8 configurations. This includes any pre-set
configurations you have requested to be supplied from
the factory.
Warning
MC2+ can be used as a Router. In this mode it can
generate IP addresses using the DHCP protocol. This can
cause conflicts with other network equipment. Do not
connect MC2+ to an IP network unless you fully
understand how to configure the DHCP server, and the
effect that a DHCP server may have on your network, to
avoid these possible conflicts.
When you connect MC2+ to a network it will search the
stored configurations and choose a configuration to
match the network to be tested if available.
Switch on MC2+.
 Note:
Please wait approximately one minute for MC2+ to
initialise its software before connecting it to the PC.

the Ethernet port on MC2+ and connect the other
end to the Ethernet port of the PC.

If you want to use the USB port you must install the
