Connecting ViewStations to the LAN Make sure that a LAN cable connected from the local area network is connected to the orange
connector on the back of your ViewStation. See the ViewStation QuickStart booklet for details.
1. Turn on the ViewStation.
2. Press the right arrow button on the remote control to select the System Info icon. Then
press the SELECT button to select it.
3 Press the right arrow button on the remote to go to the screens:
Setup > LAN/SNMP > LAN/Intranet >
If your LAN uses DHCP, press the up arrow on the remote to go to the DHCP eld. Use
the arrow button to set the DHCP setting to Client. This enables the ViewStation to obtain
an IP address from a server on your network.
If your LAN does not use DHCP, set DHCP to off in the LAN/Intranet screen and manually
enter the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address provided by your system
administrator.
4. Restart your ViewStation by turning it off then on again. Go to the System Information
screen. You should see your system’s IP address. If the IP address displays “...waiting...”,
the ViewStation did not get an address from a server on your LAN. Check the LAN
connection and try again. The green light on the connector should be illuminated and the
yellow light should be blinking.
This ViewStation can now be added to the database.
