Normally, the ApexPro Telemetry Server is remotely configured during installation.
However, non-standard networks, or conflicting network device identification/
configuration may prevent remote connection.
To connect to the ApexPro Telemetry Server, IP addressing on the service laptop
must match the ApexPro Telemetry Server Unity Network IX network TCP/IP
configuration scheme, which is defined by the first numbers used for IP addressing
and the subnet mask. ApexPro Telemetry Server units are configured at the factory
with unique Unity Network IX network IP address values following a 192.168.x.x
scheme, with a network mask value of 255.255.255.0.
