Introduction

Velocity relies on the configuration of the IP address of the SNIB3. If the computer searching for the SNIB3 is on a different network than what the SNIB3 is programmed with, then resetting the SNIB3 to factory defaults may be necessary.

  1. Power down the MX-1

  2. Set configuration switches 1 through 4 to the ON position. Set Address to 0
