Establishing a Connection
3.5.1
Via USB
Connect the LVMC to your PC using a standard USB 2.0 cable (USB A to USB B).
Start the CMT software by double-clicking on the newly created icon
on the desktop, or start the program via the start menu. Select
entry “Connect to LVMC by USB” in menu “Communication” of the
CMT. The connection to the LVMC should be established immediately.
3.5.2
Via Ethernet
Connect the LVMC to your Ethernet network using an Ethernet cable, if this is not already the case, because
you are feeding the device via PoE. By default, DHCP is activated in the LVMC at delivery. Therefore, the
LVMC attempts to automatically configure the Ethernet network interface. This requires a DHCP server to be
reachable, which is the case in many installations today. In order to connect to the LVMC via Ethernet, you
need to know its IP address. The easiest way to do this is to connect to the LVMC via USB as described in the
previous chapter 3.5.1. The currently used address is displayed on the status page in the “Ethernet State”
section. How to get to the status page is described in the following chapter 3.5.3. If no IP address is dis-
played (the field “IP Address” is empty), the network interface could not be configured automatically via
DHCP. In this case, your LVMC is not correctly connected to your network or no DHPC server can be reached.
Without a DHCP server, the network configuration must be done manually, which will not be discussed fur-
ther in this chapter.
If it works and you know the IP address, you can start the CMT soft-
ware by clicking on the maybe available icon
on the desktop, or by
calling the program from the start menu. Select entry “Connect to
LVMC by Ethernet” in menu “Communication”. You will be asked for
the IP address of the LVMC. After you have completed the entry by pressing the “OK” button, you must enter
the password. The password given on delivery is “1234”. After pressing the “OK” button, the connection to
the LVMC should be established immediately.
