FMA-LG102 Ethernet Connection/Network Options
(see also Ethernet connection information on page 11, as necessary)
• The FMA-LG102 can operate as a DHCP client if a network DHCP server assigns it a valid IP address
for that network. Otherwise, the FMA-LG102 uses its factory default IP address. In order to operate as
a DHCP client, the FMA-LG102 must be connected via a straight-through Ethernet cable to a network
with a DHCP server before power is applied.
• If there is no DHCP server, or if the FMA-LG102 is connected directly to a PC via an Ethernet crossover
cable, the FMA-LG102 will default to its factory IP address and subnet mask of 10.20.1.120 / 255.255.248.0.
When the FMA-LG102 is using its default IP address, the configuring PC must be on the same subnet
as the
FMA-LG102. For example, the PC's network connection settings can be set as 10.20.1.90 / 255.255.248.0.
PC Network Connections
If the FMA-LG102 is connected to the network (i.e., the FMA-LG102 is a DHCP client), consult the
network administrator for proper network settings. Set the PC’s network connections to provide access
to the network, and then proceed to configure the FMA-LG102
.
If you are using a direct Ethernet connection between the FMA-LG102 and the configuring PC, you must
complete the following procedure to set the PC network connections before you proceed to configure the
FMA-LG102.
1. On the PC, navigate to the Local Area Connection Properties window, as applicable, per your
operating system, e.g., Windows XP, Windows 7, etc. Refer to IT personnel or Windows documentation
for further information.
2. In the Local Area Connection Properties window, double-click on
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
.
3. In the Internet Protocol Properties window, select the
Use the following IP address:
radio button.
Then:
•
In the IP Address field, type an IP address from the following range: 10.20.1.81 to 10.20.1.92.
•
In the Subnet Mask field, type
255.255.248.0
.
4. Click
OK
to close the Internet Protocol Properties window. (You can also close any additional network
connections windows at this time.)
