Connection to a local network is permitted as long as the laser’s fixed IP address is unique to your
network, otherwise a peer-to-peer connection is required. When connecting to a local network, use a
straight-through Ethernet cable between the p250 laser and your Ethernet router or hub.
Accessing the p250 web page
p250 lasers are pre-configured with a fixed IP address that allows a simple Ethernet connection between
the p250 laser and a host. To connect your host computer to the p250 laser using a peer-to-peer
Ethernet connection, perform the steps in the following sections.
Important Note: The following procedure may require the assistance of your IT Department if
your facility’s Ethernet settings are determined automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). The p250 peer-to-peer Ethernet connection must be connected to a computer with a
static IP address that is not connected to a local network.
