To configure the UL 2, the default IP address (192.168.1.42) must be changed to be compatible with
your network. There are two different ways to configure the UltraLink 2’s network information, using the
USB ports or a network crossover cable. Following explains both methods.

1- Unit Configuration via USB ports

The configuration procedure using USB connections is shown below.
