FMA-LG102 Configuration
Overview
Once you have completed the required steps to set the PC’s network connections, you can update
the FMA-LG102 using either the FTG Device Configuration Application software (v5.5.0 or later) or the
FMA-LG102 software web page.
Experienced installers can refer to the FMA-LG102 configuration quick reference overviews below if
extended directions are not required. Otherwise, proceed to the appropriate section depending on whether
you are using the FTG Device Configuration Application software or the FMA-LG102 software web page:
• “
FMA-LG102 Configuration using the FTG Device Configuration Application Software” on pages 14 to 15
•
“FMA-LG102 Configuration using the FMA-LG102 Software Web Page” on pages 15 to 16
FMA-LG102 Configuration Prerequisites
•
The FMA-LG102 must be installed and set up in the equipment rack prior to configuration (see FMA-
LG102 installation and cabling information on previous pages).
• You will need to know the IP address of the FMA-LG102 (see “FMA-LG102 Ethernet Connection/Network
Options” on previous page).
Network Ethernet connection: Consult the network administrator to obtain the IP address that has been
assigned by a DHCP server to the FMA-LG102.
Direct Ethernet connection: The FMA-LG102 uses its default IP address (10.20.1.120).
•
Create a new or identify an existing FMA Configuration (.fma) file to use for updating the FMA-LG102
(see “Creating an FMA Configuration File” on pages 8 and 9, as necessary).
