1.
Contact a local network administrator to check if the IP address and additional
ethernet settings of the base unit have to be changed before connecting to an
existing LAN. If the base unit IP address
• has to be changed, continue with step 2.
• does not have to be changed, continue with step 6.
Comment:
The IP address and ethernet settings of the base unit must not interfere
with existing network units.
2.
• Make a direct connection according to the instruction above, Make a Direct
Connection.
• Click Login.
Result:
The web tool login dialog box is opened.
3.
Enter user name (con
fi
g) and password (default: ef56) in the login dialog box and
click OK.
Result:
The web tool Quick overview is opened.
4.
Click Setup – General con
fi
guration – Ethernet.
Result:
The Ethernet (and DNS) settings window is opened.
5.
• Enter an IP-address for the base unit that is compliant with the existing LAN (check
with the network administrator).
• Enter the Netmask (normally 255.255.255.0, check with the network administrator).
• If the network consists of several subnets, enter the IP address to the
gateway/hub/router (otherwise leave it blank).
• Click Update and then Restart.
Comment:
If more than one unit is to be connected to the LAN, the three
fi
rst
groups of the IP address must be the same for the different units. This makes them
part of the same subnet. The number in the last (rightmost) group must be different
for the units to make them unique nodes in the network.
6.
Connect the unit to the LAN using an ethernet cable (CAT5 patch cable with RJ-45
plugs).
7.
If the IP address of the computer
• has to be changed to match the IP address of the LAN, continue with step 8.
• already matches the IP address of the LAN, continue with step 11.
8.
Click Start — Control panel and double click Network connections — Local area
