Configuring Intranet Communications
The following procedure may be used to allow the LCI3 to communicate to all PC's on the same network ( i.e. in the
same building with no external communications). In this case, the PC's and LCI3 must all reside on the same network
and therefore must have the same subnet address. This example uses Windows 7 as the operating system. Please
refer to the PC user manual or IT technician if setting up with a different operating system.
Procedure
1.Determine the PC’s IP address and subnet address; See also Figure
1 for Window appearance.
• Right-click on the
Network
icon on the PC's desktop. Choose
Properties
.
• Select
Change Adaptor Settings
.
• Right-click on
Local Area Connection
and choose
Properties
.
• Click on
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
and select
Properties
.
NOTE 1:
Please note the IP and Subnet address
NOTE 2:
If there is an IT department the information can be obtained from them and they will also provide
you with an IP address that can be used for the LCI3.
NOTE 3:
All devices on the network must have a unique IP address.
2.Now that a PC’s address and subnet are known or have been provided by the IT department, the LCI3 can be
configured by doing the following.
• Sign-on to the LCI3
• Select ‘Utilities’ from the Home screen
• Select ‘Network Setup’ from the Utilities screen
• Select ‘Ethernet Settings’ from the Network Setup screen
• Set ‘Enable DHCP’ to NO
• Enter an IP address for the LCI3: This address should be the same as a PC with the last number being differ-
ent. Example:
PC 10.0.1.59 --> make the LCI3 10.0.1.60. The address may also be obtained from the IT department.
NOTE:
All devices on the network must have a unique IP address.
• Enter the proper subnet as found on the PC or as provided from the IT department
• Depress ‘Save’
3.To establish communication perform the following.
From a PC on the network, launch Internet Explorer or your preferred web browser
Using the IP address from step 2, type the following in the address line: http://10.0.1.60/lci3/firstpage
The LCI3s sign-on screen should now be displayed
Configuring Internet (WWW) Communications
The following procedure may be used to allow the LCI3 to communicate to any PC on the internet. The router refer-
enced in the example is a LinkSys router, default router addresses and settings may vary based on the router manufac-
turer.
Procedure
1.This example assumes that the router has already been installed and connected to the Internet and is functioning
properly.
2.Connect the LCI3 to the network that the router is also connected.
3.Verify the LCI3 obtained the IP addresses automatically from the router.
• Sign-on to the LCI3
• Select ‘Utilities’ from the Home screen
• Select ‘Network Setup’ from the Utilities screen
