a new connection to the Master, and populates the System list with devices on your particular system.

NOTE:
Verify you have downloaded the latest firmware file from www.amx.com and then save the Kit file to your computer.
A Special Note for Network Interface Connections
Due to any USB connection to your PC being made through a Network Interface Connection (NIC), Windows will automatically
make any new NIC connection the Primary connection. If this happens, the USB address of 172.16.0.2 will show up across the PC’s
network switches as the PC’s source address. In some cases, network administrators will notice the NIC connection and
reconfigure any PC that has connected to the MVP-5200i. Business, college, and government installations are the type of
installations that would be most affected, and most home installations would not be affected.
To prevent the NIC connection from becoming the primary connection:
1.
From the Windows
Start
menu, select
Settings > Control Panel
to open the
Control Panel
window.
2.
In the
Control Panel
window, click on the
Network Connections
icon to open the Network Connections window (FIG. 79)
3.
From the
Advanced
menu, select
Advanced Settings...
to open the
Advanced Settings
window (FIG. 80).
