Lynx DSA User's Manual - 9240227J
Universal Plug and Play
If using Windows 7 or greater, and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) discovery is
enabled on your computer, once connected and the interface is configured, the new
Lynx system should be visible through your computer’s Network Explorer along with
other UPnP devices you may already have on your network. Refer to
Communications Setup
starting on page 150 for communications options. Please note
that although the Lynx’s setting for UPnP is enabled by default, the Universal Plug
and Play service on your host machine may
not
enabled by default, or your network
may intentionally
block
UPnP messaging. Consult assistance from your IT
administrators if needed.
Next, assuming your computer’s Ethernet interface has been configured to access the
Lynx at the static IP address:
•
The Lynx DSA is powered up and turned on. The POWER Led on the
Lynx’s front panel is steady green. Your network cable is plugged into the
RJ45-type network jack labeled
10/100 Base T
on the Lynx’s rear panel. If
the connection between the computer and Lynx DSA is direct (that is,
doesn’t go through a hub or switch) then the supplied 10/100 Base-Tx UTP
Ethernet crossover cable (red in color) must be used.
•
On your Windows PC, go to My Network Places to open the Network
Explorer view.
•
An icon labeled
Lynx
should appear if UPnP messaging is cooperating with
the default Lynx settings. This means that Windows has already discovered
the Lynx’s network information. (Good)
•
Double-click on the
Lynx
icon; this will launch your default web browser,
connect to the Lynx, download the Lynx Web Client application, and display
the application’s main page. Login is disabled by default, therefore the Web
Client application should simply connect to the Lynx without requesting
login credentials. If the Web Client application successfully downloads and
connects to the Lynx, the network connection is intact. (Good to go).
•
Proceed with installation and setup as required by your site. For example,
•
Setting the Lynx’s network settings to conform to your network
requirements, such as enabling DHCP for dynamic address assignments,
•
Establishing security password and enabling Login to restrict access to
the Lynx if required. Login by default is disabled.
•
Enabling or Disabling UPnP messaging to meet your network
requirements
•
Refer to
Communications Setup
starting on page 150 for a summary of the
setup details concerning UPnP and other communication parameters to
customize your Lynx installation.
