*Note: The location of the LEDs is the same on the 9150DC (see Figu re2.3 on page 21).
2.2.2 LAN Installation: Overview
Because the 9150 provides Ethernet connectivity, it can be added to an existing LAN.
Generally, LAN installations are handled with the help of the network administrators,
as they are familiar with their network and its configuration.
Once the 9150 is installed, connected and powered on, the system administrator can
access the unit to check the configuration and to assign the 9150 its unique IP address.
This may be done through the Console port or through the network (see “Connecting
