DHCP mode - automatic address setting
Requirements:
Standard router with DHCP functionality (e.g.: D-Link Wireless AC750 DualBand Easy
Router).
The DHCP mode can be used for the configuration of one or more laser devices.
a. Connect the laser device(s) to the router with an ethernet cable (CAT-5 or higher). Make
sure that DHCP mode is activated on the router and that it is capable to provide an auto-
matic IP address (
see the manual of your router).
b. Connect the router to the computer or the laptop with another ethernet cable (CAT-5 or
higher). It can be possible that the WiFi mode of a compatible router is also instantly ac-
cessible. In this case it can be possible, that mobile devices can already be used without
the need of preliminary configuration through a wired setup. To ensure everything works
well it is recommended to set up a wired configuration first.
This is how the setup looks like. It is also possible to connect several RTI PIKO lasers to
one router:

c. Type the IP address or name of your router into the web browser of your computer to
access the administration menu of the router setup.
Please see the manual of the router to
find out how this feature can be accessed.
The administration interface of the router usually
has a certain user interface showing all connected devices within the network. Check for
the IP addresses that have been assigned per laser system and write them down for fu-
ture use. Each laser can be configured by entering this IP address to the browser address
bar.
d. If there are no laser units visible on this overview page, make sure that each laser is pow-
ered up properly, that the ethernet cables are connected correctly and that only standard
network cable were used (do not use cross cable!).
e. If it is
not possible to access the router administration interface
or if the LAN con-
nection shows errors,
