Setting MA100-1M IP Addresses
1. In the MA100-1M Administration screen, go to the IP Configuration fields.

Resetting Admin PC to Its Original IP Address
In Setting the Admin PC to the network number of the MultiAccess, you recorded the original IP address
of the administrator’s PC and then reset it to the IP address required to allow communication with the
MA100-1M unit. You may now set the IP address of the administrator’s PC back to its original value or to
any other value that will allow you to communicate with the MA100-1M at its new IP address.
Logging In Again
Having reset the IP address of the administrator’s PC, you must log into the MA100-1M software again
with the MA100-1M’s new IP address. Go to the Login screen, enter admin as User Name and admin
as Password.
