APPENDIX B: Verify Access to the Internet from the LAN

TO VERIFY:

1.Connect a PC/laptop to the LAN.

2.Open a connection to www.lavalink.com.

3.Open a connection to www.whatismyip.com. A WAN (Internet) IP address will be displayed.

4.If this is the HQ LAN site, make a note of this IP address. It will need to be entered into the ST Plus devices. This IP address must be an assigned STATIC IP address.

5.If Internet connection cannot be established, then verify if Internet communications are available from the LAN.

6.If Internet connections are available, then set up the PC/laptop TCP/IP network parameters as required to use either STATIC or DHCP (automatic) assigned network parameters - see next step for assistance.

7.If Internet access cannot be established, HQ-ST System will NOT work.
