IP address should be 192.168.1.x (x=1-254 except 101 because that is what Nexia is set to.)

6. Connect PC to network
Attach a “straight-through” Ethernet cable from PC 10/100baseT network card to a 10/100baseT
Ethernet switch. “Straight-through” Ethernet cables connect transmit pins directly to receive pins (pin 1
to pin 1, pin 2 to pin2, pin 3 to pin3, etc.). You can easily determine if an Ethernet cable is “straight-
through” by looking at the conductors on the RJ-45 connectors. If the wiring is identical on both ends,
it is a “straight through” Ethernet cable.
7. Connect Nexia device to network
Connect one Nexia device to network using “straight through” Ethernet cable attached from the rear
panel Ethernet jack to the 10/100baseT Ethernet switch.
