Lynx DSA User's Manual - 9240227J
Use this method if you do not yet have an IP Network connection (either a static
address or DHCP) configured for your new Lynx system, and you choose to set up
the Lynx before that network connection is available. Later – once your network
connection is available – you will make a few changes to the network settings to
finally connect the Lynx to your network.
Note that under Windows typically there is no 'Undo'. Please record any existing IP
address settings in your PC before you change them, in the event you must return this
PC to its original settings.
Connections
To begin, perform the following connections:
1.
Place the Lynx near your PC. Connect the ac power adapter to the Lynx, and
plug it in. It will take approximately 30 to 60 seconds for Lynx to fully
initialize. The Lynx is ready for communication when its POWER Led stops
blinking.
2.
Disconnect your PC's network adapter from the existing connections.
3.
Connect the Ethernet “crossover” cable (red cable provided with Lynx) from
your desktop PC to the Network jack (10/100 T) on the Lynx.
