In order to start work, make sure that the router settings match the following requirements:
*Network settings of the DE-MG/Metaforsa module match your router settings (default IP address 192.168.1.111/255.255.255.0);
*IP address of the DE-MG/Metaforsa module is beyond the range of IP addresses, which the DHCP server of your router provides.
If the network settings of the DE-MG/Metaforsa module do not match the settings of your router, it is necessary to take one of the following actions:
*Change the network settings of the router according to the settings of DE-MG/Metaforsa module;
*Change the network settings of DE-MG/Metaforsa module using a PC (Ethernet port is required);
*Change the network settings of DE-MG/Metaforsa module with the help of the router.
