your project. Every SPA-ZC 400 in the same system needs a unique IP
address.

The IP address can be checked by using IP Query Tool:

Select SPAZC40x on the tree hierarchy and define a new IP address in

the Object Properties window. The IP address should be changed from
192.168.2.10 to 192.168.2.11. The gateway (this was the IP address
for the pc) can be left as the default 192.168.2.1.

Define also the SNTP Server 1 by entering the IP address of your

computer.

Set the Time Zone Correction in minutes (120).
