4.1 Detecting and configuring the IP address
4.1.1 Initial configuration over a LAN
In order to work correctly in an IP network, the device must have a correctly configured IP address.
To find the current IP address, use the NETIO Discover utility, available for download at:
http://www.netio-products.com/en/software/netio-discover Depending on your operating system,
choose the .exe file (Windows) or the .jar file (Linux or Mac). To run the .jar file, JAVA RE is
needed. It is available for download at: www.java.com
To successfully discover the IP address, the controlling system must be in the same LAN as the
NETIO 4x device.
