HOW TO CONNECT TO A DPS USING NETWORK

This works fine with Windows XP, there may be problems with
Windows Vista and 7 due to security settings in Vista and 7.

1. Open “Task Manager” by pressing Ctrl+Shift+ESC;

2. Select “New Task”;
3. Type “Cmd”;
4. Type “ipconfig” and the IP address for the DPS will appear;

5. Open “Network Properties” in your laptop and configure the network IP address in the
same range. In this example to 10.0.21.20 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

6. Use a crossed cable to connect with the DPS. As the DPS has two RJ45 ports, if you
didn’t get communication just change to the other RJ45 port.

7. Open the Windows Explorer and type \\10.0.21.19\**$, where ** is the partition you
want to access. Note: Use the DPS IP number you have configured onboard.

8. Pop-up window will appear requesting login and password. Type “DPS” as login and
“STX” as password. Both in capitol letter.

9. The partition will be accessible.
