This will open the Network Connection Management Dialog shown below:
There are three tabs, one is for Serial connections (which are not applicable to the R FR
5041
) and the other two are for network configuration. Please make sure the “simulation”
check box is unchecked
Note:
Simulation mode will simulate a large LYNX installation and populate the system
with an array of simulated hardware for demonstration and training purposes. While this
will not impact the operation of any actual hardware connected, it is recommended to have
this turned off to avoid confusion.
Select the
Network Connections Editor
Tab. This dialog is shown below and comprises
of two main sections. The left hand side shows the current network configuration and the
right hand side shows the LYNX hardware which has been detected.
The LYNX software will automatically scan the network for any connected LYNX
hardware. All available devices will be displayed on the right hand side.
The R FR 5041 is shipped with a factory default IP address of
192.168.1.162.
While
it’s certainly possible to use this IP address, it’s highly recommended to change this to
something suitable for your network. This can be set to a fixed static IP address or
automatically using DHCP if your network supports this.
If the R FR 5041 is not detected, then please check the network connection and network
activity using the LEDs on the connector. You can also manually enter the above IP
address and search specifically for this device.
In the example below you can see the LYNX GUI Computer in the current network
infrastructure with the detected R FR 5041 listed as an available network component with
the factory default IP address.
