Installation and Warranty
basicCON 4121 – User Manual
1-5
If the Ethernet interface is used for communication with the control PC
or laptop, there is no driver installation required.
Nevertheless, to address the
Video Dragon
basicCON 4121
, you need a
network device that is set up with a valid
IP Address
and proper
subnet mask
. Otherwise the control PC or laptop will not be able to
communicate with the
basicCON 4121
in the network.
This setup needs to be done only once, independent of the number of
basicCON 4121
devices you are willing to use.
For setting up, you have to open the Network Connection Properties
dialog of the appropriate network device:
Select the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” properties.
A new window opens where you set the
IP Address
and
subnet mask
to fixed values (i.e., your
Video Dragon
has a static
IP Address
)
regarding the following rules:
The
IP Address
of the network device has to be different
from that of the
basicCON 4121
.
The
subnet mask
has to be set to such a value,
that both
IP Addresses
(of network device and
basicCON 4121
)
are in the same subnet.
Example:
The default
IP Address
of the
basicCON 4121
is
192.168.1.62
.
You can set up your network device for example to the
IP Address
192.168.1.100
and the
subnet mask
to
255.255.255.0
, since both devices
are now in the same subnet
192.168.1.xx
.
