QUICK SETUP & OPERATION

Use the Web RCS
The Zenith 100 uses standard ethernet LAN networking. To access the Web RCS, connect a computer to the Zenith 100 using the Ethernet cable. Then on the computer, open an internet browser (Google Chrome is recommended).
Into this internet browser, enter the IP address of the Zenith 100 displayed on the front panel screen (192.168.2.140 by default).
The connection starts.

Often, computers are set to DHCP client (automatic
IP detection) mode. You may need to change the
IP address configuration on your computer before you can connect. These settings are found in the properties for your LAN network adaptor, and vary by operating system.
The default IP address on the Zenith 100 is 192.168.2.140 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
Therefore, you can assign your computer a static IP address of 192.168.2.100 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and should be able to connect.
If the connection is not starting:

• Be sure the computer IP address is on the same network and subnet as the Zenith 100.
• Be sure that two devices do not have the same IP address (preventing IP conflicts)
• Check your network cable. You will need a crossover ethernet cable if you are connecting directly from the Zenith 100 to the computer. If a hub or switch is involved, use straight ethernet cables.
