Before you start:
• Obtain an IP address for each vNet Device from your IT
department. They should either be reserved IP
addresses
supplied by DHCP, or static IP addresses (recommended). If
the IP addresses are reserved, the DHCP server must be
updated before you proceed with the installation.
• Write down the MAC address of the vNet Device (addre
ss is
found on the side of the vNet Device above the serial number).
• Modify Firewall settings:
•Allow the dgrunwiz.exe and dgcfgwiz.exe programs
to
receive incomi
ng network connec
tions.
•U
nblock UDP port 2362
and multi-cast address
224
.0.5.128, as these are used by device discovery.
