Before using RasterBlaster 4, it is necessary to configure the computer system or XNI box to a static IP address.

Locate an available IP address

First, locate a suitable static IP address. You want an address that's in the same IP address range as your current network but won't conflict with existing devices or devices automatically assigned an IP address by the router on the network. If you need assistance, contact your network's administrator or an IT Professional.
