LOYTEC 

Version 6.1 

LOYTEC electronics GmbH 

 

3 Quick-Start Guide 

This  Chapter  shows  step-by-step  instructions  on  how  to  configure  the  L-IP  for  a  simple 
network architecture in a LAN environment.  

3.1  Hardware Installation  

3.1.1  L-IP 

Connect power 12-35 VDC or 12-24 VAC, the CEA-709 network, and the Ethernet cable as 
shown in the installation sheet. More detailed instructions are shown in Chapter 4. 

3.1.2  L-IP Redundant 

Connect  power  12-35  VDC  or  12-24  VAC,  the  Ethernet  cable  and  the  CEA-709  network 
the installation sheet. Depending on the desired redundancy mode choose one of the cabling 
topologies  as  shown  in  Figure  4  to  Figure  6.  More  detailed  instructions  are  shown  in 
Chapter 4.
