Configuring the internal IP network connection

Before you can use the master console, you must configure the internal IP network connection.

If you are using the master console on an IPv6 network, you must ensure that it is configured to run IPv6. See the Microsoft knowledge base for more information on setting up IPv6 on your operating system.

Perform the following steps to configure the Local Area Connection:

  1. From the desktop, right-click My Network Places.
  2. Click Properties.
  3. Right-click Local Area Connection.
  4. Click Properties.
  5. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
  6. Click Properties.
  7. Type all required information for the IP and DNS addresses.
    Note: You do not have to use a static TCP/IP address. If you only want to access the master console directly, you can use a DHCP TCP/IP address. If you use a DHCP TCP/IP address, ensure that the properties are set to DHCP. To access the master console remotely, you must use a static IP address.
  8. Click OK until you return to the desktop.
  9. Connect the Ethernet port to the network.
