DHCP Setup Changes: Optional for IP Network Use
In order to make any parameter changes to the Lynx, you must first connect to the
Lynx using the Direct Setup procedure above.
If the Lynx is required to operate on a DHCP network where IP addresses are
dynamically assigned, the Lynx’s DHCP discovery must be enabled in order for the
Lynx to receive an automatic IP address assignment from the network. Once DHCP
has been enabled, disconnect the “crossover” cable and connect the Lynx to the site's
network or router/hub connection box using the “straight-through” cable.
The Lynx supports Universal Plug and Play. If your network allows UPnP messaging
and your PC supports UPnP discovery, then the Lynx’s UPnP operation should be
enabled, as UPnP can help identifying and connecting to devices on the network.
When shipped from the factory, the Lynx’s UPnP operation is typically enabled and
the UPnP Friendly Name used by Window’s UPnP discovery is
Lynx
. When using
multiple Lynx’s on a network, the UPnP Friendly Name should be changed to
uniquely identify each Lynx. See
Universal Plug and Play
on page 161 for more
information.

lost until the Lynx is physically disconnected from the PC and connected to the
Network via the “straight-through” cable connection. Communication between the
PC and Lynx can be re-established after the PC’s Network Adapter is [re]configured
to utilize DHCP. See section below.
