Computer

Follow these steps to configure the IP settings:

1)

Understand the default IP settings for the MT882: IP

computer. The computer shall work in the same subnet as

that of the MT882. for example, IP address: 192.168.1.100,

subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.

For computers running non-Windows operating systems,

follow the instructions for your OS to configure the IP setting to

occupy the same subnet as MT882.
