Configure Panel Network Settings

 

The following configuration screen is reached via the 635 Web Configuration Tool. The IP Address items (shown in yellow) will typically be provided by an IT Department or Internet Service Provider - and must be appropriate for your network. The address values shown are for example only! The Location item (in blue) is optional. The MAC Address (in green) will be pre-programmed, and should not be changed.
