CONFIGURING ETHERNET COMMUNICATION
Summary
There are three basic LCI3 Ethernet configuration types which may be required for Ethernet communication. These
configurations types are Ethernet with Crossover cable, Intranet, and Internet.
This section provides quick start instruction for setting up each configuration type.
• Configure the LCI3 to communicate to a PC using a cross-over cable
• Configure the LCI3 to communicate to PCs on an Intranet.
• Configure the LCI3 to communicate to PCs on the Internet.
NOTE:
The LCI3 is capable of communicating to other LCI3s and may also send e-mail via the ethernet.
Those applications are addressed in another section of this document. In addition, these procedures are
intended for individuals who are experienced with PC's and routers.
Using a cross-over cable from a PC
The following procedure may be used to allow a PC to communicate to an LCI3 using a cross over cable. In this case,
the PC and LCI3 must both reside on the same network and therefore must have the same subnet address. This exam-
ple uses Windows 7 as the operating system. Please refer to the PC user manual or IT technician if setting up with a
different operating system.
Procedure
1.Determine the PC’s IP address and subnet address; See also Figure
1 for Windows appearance.
• Right click on the "Network" icon on the PC's desktop. Choose
Properties
.
• Choose
Change Adaptor Settings
.
• Right click on
Local Area Connection
and choose
Properties
.
• Click on
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
and select
Properties
.
• Note the IP and Subnet address
2.Now that the PCs address and subnet are known the LCI3 can be configured by doing the following.
• Sign-on to the LCI3
• Select ‘Utilities’ from the Home screen
• Select ‘Network Setup’ from the Utilities screen
• Select ‘Ethernet Settings’ from the Network Setup screen
• Set ‘Enable DHCP’ to NO
• Enter an IP address for the LCI3: This address should be the same as your PC with the last number being dif-
ferent. Example: PC: 10.0.1.59 --> make the LCI3 10.0.1.60
• Enter the same subnet as your PC
• Depress ‘Save’
3 To establish communication perform the following.
• Connect the cross-over cable to your PC and the LCI3
• Launch Internet Explorer or your preferred web browser
• Type the following in the address line:
http://10.0.1.60/lci3/firstpage
• The LCI3’s sign-on screen should now be displayed on the PC screen.
