Connecting to PC or Network
5. However, if the address has not already been selected, fill
in the IP address and subnet mask as shown above. The
subnet mask for 172.25.x.x is 255.255.0.0. If the computer
will not be plugged into a network, the above address (or
almost any address within the chosen subnet) will do. The
only address that will not work is the same one as that of
the LSA1000 to be controlled.
6. Now click in the TCP/IP Properties dialog box.
Depending on the operating system and version, you may
need to reboot the computer. If so, a dialog box should
alert you to this.
Making Physical Connection
To make the physical connection between the LSA1000 and the
host computer:
1. Connect the LSA1000 to the PC using a cross-over cable
(for direct connection).
2. Power the LSA1000 unit on. The green LED power
indicator on the front panel will light up.
Verifying Connection
The physical connection and the PC’s TCP/IP configuration can
be verified using the “
ping
” command, available on both
Windows™ 95 and Windows™ NT with TCP/IP network protocol
installed. In order to check the network connection between the
PC and the LSA1000:
3. Start MS-DOS Prompt
4. Type
ping <
ip_address
>
where
<
ip_address
>
is the
static address assigned to the LSA1000. The dialog box
on the next page illustrates the result of a successful
“ping”, with the Ethernet connection shown established.
The IP address of the LSA1000 in this case is 172.25.1.2,
the factory default address.
Note:
If your PC does not
have TCIP/IP, see the
dedicated Windows™ 95
or NT User’s Manuals for
installation instructions.
