In order to connect to the pcIPcard, you must access the pcIPcard from another
system on the same network. ATEN refers to this other system as the client system. To do
this, you must know the pcIPcard's IP address. If you have installed the pcIPcard on a
network that uses DHCP, you can search the network for the pcIPcard. To locate and find
out its IP address, you must run RacTrendsSeek Locator.

Note: Make sure that you have already installed the pcIPcard Windows Software
Components on the system that you want to use to locate the pcIPcard.

• Locate the RacTrendsSeek Locator program on your remote client system. Run the
RacTrendsSeek Locator program by double left clicking on it and left click on the Next
button after it opens.

• Type in your Network Name. For example, Corporate. Next, you must enter a range of
IP addresses that you want to search. Left click the Add>> button when finished.

• The name and IP range of the pcIPcard will display in the right field. Place a check
in the box next to the range of IP addresses. Left click on the Next button.

• The name and IP range of the pcIPcard will display in the Selected IP Range
window. Left click on the Next button.

• If the IP range is correct, RacTrendsSeek Locator will locate the pcIPcard. It will list all
pcIPcard it has discovered.

• Double left click on the IP address to start managing the pcIPcard and write down its IP
address. Left click on the Finish button after RacTrendsSeek Locator discovers all
pcIPcards.

• When prompted for the user name and password, enter the following (The default user
