So how do I set up my CAM for Angelbox that I just purchased? The only connection it has is to AC Power using a USB connector plugged into a power adapter. Using network analysis software, I am able to determine the IP address that has been currently assigned to each of my CAMS. I use APPLE.

Hello Mel,

two cables should be connected to AngelBox:

1. Power cable (what you probably have already)
2. Ethernet cable, to connect AngelBox to the internet.
