Network connection and IP address
This section explains how to connect Monarch LCS to a network with or without
a DHCP server, and describes how to acquire the Monarch LCS IP address.
¦ Note
If you switch the network connection while Monarch LCS is powered
and the switch results in Monarch LCS getting a new network IP address, you
must power cycle the device to apply the new IP address. To power cycle the
device, use the Reset button on the Monarch LCS device (see
“Using the Reset
button” on page 12 ).
Finding the Monarch LCS current IP address
You must know your Monarch device’s IP address to access the Command
Center. There are three ways to find the Monarch LCS current IP address:
• You can see it displayed on an HDMI monitor at device boot up.
• You can have it automatically saved to a connected USB device when
rebooting the Monarch LCS.
• Use the Monarch LCS Utils application to view all connected Monarch
LCSs and their IP addresses.
Displaying the IP address on an HDMI monitor
The Monarch LCS IP address is displayed on a connected HDMI monitor at
device boot up:
1
Connect the Monarch LCS to an HDMI monitor.
2 Power up the Monarch LCS.
When the Monarch LCS boots up, the IP address appears on the screen for
approximately 30 seconds before being replaced by the signal from the HDMI
output selection.
Saving the IP address and status to USB
You can save a file containing the Monarch LCS IP address and current status to
a USB device, making this information easily accessible (see
“Status page” on
page 26 ).
1 Insert a formatted USB device into the USB port 2 (see “USB ports 1 and 2”
on page 7 ).
2
Reboot your Monarch LCS. It is complete once the Warning ( ) LED
stops flashing (see “Device reboot” on page 12 ).
The Monarch LCS IP address and status information are now saved to a text file
on the USB device.
