IStation Network Configuration

The IStation transmitter connects JTECH paging features to your network. It requires a static IP address to communicate with the POS or JTECH system. Before making changes, request the network details from your IT administrator.

JTECH normally programs the transmitter before shipping. If network settings need to be entered on-site, a wired USB keyboard may be required.

Network settings you will need

  • Static IP address
  • Subnet mask
  • Gateway
  • DNS server

Enter each value using four groups of three digits, including leading zeros. For example, 192.168.1.25 becomes 192.168.001.025.
