The Alere Afinion Data Connectivity Converter (ADCC) comes with default configuration. You need to configure it so that it connects to the Relaymed Software host.
Before you start
Make sure the client has ordered the ADCC directly from the manufacturer.
Depending on your setup, decide how you would like to connect the device to your internal network: directly (via Ethernet port) OR via a PC.

Configure ADCC to connect to Relaymed
Regardless of your final configuration, the ADCC needs to be programmed to connect to the Relaymed Software Agent. Since this is done via a web interface, you will need a PC.
Connect the ADCC to the PC
- USB is connected to the PC (for power only)
- Ethernet is connected to the PC
Establish mini network between the ADCC and the PC
ADCC come with a default IP of 192.168.1.1
You will need to temporarily assign the PC the same subnet address: 192.168.1.2
- Open Network and Sharing Center
- Choose "Change adapter settings" (left hand menu)
- Right-Click on Ethernet and select Properties
- Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", then click Properties
