Installation

Getting Started

Installation Location

The EBR-2310 can be positioned at any convenient place in your office or house. No special wiring or cooling requirements

are needed. However, you should comply with the following guidelines:

•

Place the EBR-2310 on a flat horizontal plane.

•

Keep away from any heating devices.

•

Do not place in a dusty or wet environment.

The recommended operational specifications of the EBR-2310 are:

Temperature

32o F ~ 131o F

Humidity

5 % ~ 90 %

In addition, remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when

you install the hardware.

Network Settings

To use the EBR-2310 correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your computers. The default IP address

of the EBR-2310 is

192.168.0.1

, and the default subnet mask is

255.255.255.0

. These addresses can be changed as needed,

but the default values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been configured, you

can refer to

Configuring Your PCs to Connect to the EBR-2310

to configure it.

For example:

1.

Configure your computer

IP

as 192.168.0.3,

subnet mask

as 255.255.255.0 and

gateway

as 192.168.0.1

Or more conveniently

2.

Configure your computers to obtain TCP/IP settings automatically from the DHCP server feature of the EBR-2310

Since the IP address of the EBR-2310 is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of your computer must be 192.168.0.X (where “X” is a

number between 2 and 254.) Each computer on your network must have a different IP address within that range. The default

gateway must be 192.168.0.1 (the IP address of the EBR-2310).
