to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,

uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this

equipment in a residential area may cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be

responsible for correcting any interference.

Guarantee and Compensation

RGBlink provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated

terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all delivered goods for

damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults. RGBlink must be

informed immediately in writing of any complaints.

The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and

software on the date of commissioning, at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of

justified notice of compliant, RGBlink can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own discretion

within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can

demand a reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular

those relating to compensation for direct or indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the

operation of software as well as to other service provided by RGBlink, being a component of the system

the absence of properties guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence or part of

RGBlink.

If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on goods delivered by RGBlink, or if

the goods are handled incorrectly, in particular if the systems are commissioned operated incorrectly or if,

after the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in the contract, all

guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are

system failures which are attributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser,

e.g. interfaces. Normal wear as well as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by

RGBlink either.

The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in this

manual must be complied with by the customer.

Chrome and log in.

Chapter 2: Installing Your Product

8

Note:

The DHCP is controlled by a DHCP server that dynamically distributes network configuration

parameters, such as IP addresses, for interfaces and services. A DHCP server enables computers

to request IP addresses and networking parameters automatically, reducing the need for a

network administrator or a user to configure these settings manually.

If the user wants to disable the DHCP function, just remove the tick and type in the IP address

and subnet mask. Only after the reboot will the settings take effect.
