Network Connection Settings for FMA-LG101 Configuration
FMA-LG101 Ethernet Connection/Network Options
(see also Ethernet connection information on previous page, as necessary)
•The FMA-LG101 can operate as a DHCP client if a network DHCP server assigns it a valid IP address for that network. Otherwise, the FMA-LG101 uses its factory default IP address. In order to operate as a DHCP client, the FMA-LG101 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-LG101 is connected directly to a PC via an Ethernet crossover cable, the FMA-LG101 will default to its factory IP address and subnet mask of 10.20.1.120 / 255.255.248.0. When the FMA-LG101 is using its default IP address, the configuring PC must be on the same subnet as the FMA-LG101. 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-LG101 is connected to the network (i.e., the FMA-LG101 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-LG101.
If you are using a direct Ethernet connection between the FMA-LG101 and the configuring PC, you must complete the following procedure to set the PC network connections before you proceed to configure the FMA-LG101.
1.On the PC, navigate to Network Connections options, as applicable, per your operating system, e.g., Windows XP, Windows 7, etc. Refer to IT personnel or Windows documentation for further information.
2.Right-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the Network Connections window, and select Properties.
3.Double-click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the Local Area Connection Properties window.
4.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.
5.Click OK to close the Internet Protocol Properties window. (You can also close any additional network connections windows at this time.)
