How we did it

We installed the SM-3000 in our labs on a 100M bit/sec. Ethernet connection as directed in the setup documents. From there, we used the included serial cable to connect our Dell Latitude C840 and ran HyperTerminal to give the SM-3000 an IP address. We then connected to the SM-3000 over HTTP using Internet Explorer to complete the few remaining configuration steps.

We conducted and participated in meetings with several desktop systems, including Windows XP, Mac OS X, SuSE and Red Hat Linux.
