Getting started
Set the IP address for
DHCP-enabled networks
The OM instruments are set with automatic IP assignment (DHCP) enabled by
default. Therefore you do not need to speci
fi
cally set the instrument IP address, as
the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address during instrument power-on
(when powering on with the rear-panel power switch).
NOTE.
Pushing the front-panel Enable/Standby switch does not automatically
assign a DCHP address; DHCP IP address assignment only occurs when
powering on from the rear-panel Power switch)
The following procedure describes how to use LRCP software to verify
connectivity of an OM instrument to a DHCP-enabled network.
Prerequisite: OM instrument, and the controller PC (with LRCP installed), both
connected to the same DHCP-enabled network.
1.
Connect the OM instrument to the DHCP-enabled network.
2.
Power on the OM instrument with the rear power switch (set to
1
). The
instrument queries the DHCP server to obtain an IP address. Wait until the
front panel Power button light turns off indicating it is ready. Press the front
panel Power button to enable the network connection (button light turns On).
3.
On a PC connected to the same network as the OM instrument, start the
LRCP
program. (See page 19,
The Laser Receiver Control Panel (LRCP)
4.
Enter password
1234
when requested.
5.
When running LRCP for the
fi
rst time after installation, click on the
Con
fi
guration/Device Setup
link on the application screen to open the
Device Setup window. Otherwise click the
Device Setup
button (upper left of
application window).
6.
In the
Device Setup
dialog box, click the
Auto Con
fi
gure
button. LRCP
searches the network and lists any OM instruments that it detects. If no devices
are detected, work with you IT resource to resolve the connection problem.
7.
(optional) Use the
Friendly Name
fi
eld to create a custom label for each
instrument. There is no limit to the size of the name you enter.
8.
Click
OK
to close the con
fi
guration dialog box and return to the LRCP main
window. The main LRCP window displays a tab for each instrument detected.
Click on a tab to display the laser controls for that instrument. Refer to the
LRCP documentation for help on using the software.
