10 UltraLink 2 DVI Installation and Operation Manual
Initial Configuration
Once the UL2-DVI has been connected to the host computer and the unit has been powered up, it is
necessary to make it discoverable on the network. To do this, the network settings have to be changed so that
it is visible on the user’s LAN or on the internet. The factory network settings are as follows:
IP address: 192.168.1.42
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: <undefined>
If these settings do not match the values on the desired network, it will be necessary to change these values
so that the UltraLink 2 DVI can be found on the network. Changing these settings requires a direct IP
connection between a computer and the unit. Disconnect the UltraLink 2 DVI from the LAN, and use a
crossover Ethernet cable to connect it to a computer that will be used to change the network settings. This is
shown in the figure below.
