Getting Started
External Power Supply
The working voltage of Livox Hub is 10 V to 23 V. Regardless of how many Livox LiDAR sensors are
connected to Livox Hub, the working voltage range of Livox Hub remains the same. Contact Livox if you
intend to use an external power source exceeding 23 V.
Connection
Livox Hub uses an Ethernet cable for data transmission and supports user datagram protocol (UDP).
Both static and dynamic IP address configurations are supported and the addresses are assigned by
default to Livox Hub using dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP).
The static and dynamic IP addresses are connected in different ways. The dynamic IP address is
connected by default using a router with DHCP. To connect to the static IP address, make sure Livox
Hub is in static IP mode by using Livox Viewer or the Livox SDK.
If Livox LiDAR sensors are connected to Livox Hub after the IP address is set, make sure to disconnect
the power source and connect again with the LiDAR sensors connected. Otherwise, the external
power source cannot provide power to the LiDAR sensors connected.
• DO NOT connect or disconnect the Livox LiDAR sensors to or from Livox Hub while powering on. It
is required to reconnect Livox Hub to the external power source after the Livox LiDAR sensors are
connected or disconnected.

1. Connect the Livox LiDAR sensors to Livox Hub (a Livox Hub can connect to up to nine Livox LiDAR
sensor units).
2. Connect the computer and Livox Hub to the router using Ethernet cables. Make sure both the
computer and Livox Hub are connected to the LAN port on the router.
3. Connect Livox Hub to an external power source.
4. Connect one end of the GPS sync cable to the sync port and the other end to the designated sync
signal. Note that the GPS sync cable may not always be required.
