Overview

This guide will show how to configure a remote transmitter that is on a different subnet than the VersaCall computer/server. For this method, you must have the IP address of the port that the RS232 device is plugged into – consult your IT department for this information. They may need to trace the device using the MAC address, this is printed on a label attached to the bottom of the RS-232 device. IT will also need to provide a static IP address that can be used for this device.
