[TenTec] Hooking up Omni VII to computer ---direct--- how?

[John Graves]

Mike,

I'm the IT guy. No idea on the passcode  You can confirm that you are 
connected by:

Open a Dos Box by Click on Start>Run  If the run box says cmd click OK. 
  If not enter cmd in the box and click OK.

This will open a black dos box.  type Ping 192.168.1.123   You should 
get a reply whether or not you have entered the passcode. If you get a 
reply it's time for the omni VII experts to step in.
