Setting up Talon without Network access or with Network without DHCP server using APIPA
1. Verify your PC is set to Automatic IP
2. Connect Talon direct to your PC with an Ethernet cable (ensure the PC doesn’t have network connection though Wifi, USB, etc)
3. Follow above instructions beginning with step 2.
APIPA - Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is a feature of Windows-based OS -- included since Windows 98 and Windows ME
-- that enables a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol client to automatically assign an IP address to itself when there's no DHCP
server available to perform that function.
