Integrators’ Reference Manual for ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, and VS4000

Connecting the PC to the LAN Through the ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, or VS4000

Do this if you need to use the system to provide LAN connectivity for your PC.

1.Ensure that the PC and the system are both powered off.

2.Connect the system to the LAN using the LAN connector and cable.

3.Connect the blue RJ-45 cable into the blue PC port on the back of the system and to the Ethernet port on your computer.

4.Power on the system.

5.Select System Info > Admin Setup > LAN/H.323 > LAN/Intranet to configure the system’s LAN/H.323 settings. The LAN & Intranet screen appears.

6.If your LAN does not use DHCP, go to step 9.

7.If your LAN uses DHCP, select Client in the DHCP field to enable the system to obtain an IP address from a server on your network.

8.After you have changed the DHCP settings, a message lets you know that the system will have to be reset in order to save the changes. Select Yes. Another message informs you that the system is about to restart.

9.Select the System Info icon to go to the System Information screen. Your system's IP address should appear in the IP Address field.

You have finished this procedure. The rest of this procedure applies to LANs that do not use DHCP.

Note

If the IP address field displays “...waiting...,” the system did not get an address from the LAN. Check the LAN connection on the back of the system and try again. When the system is properly connected, the green light on the connector is illuminated and the orange light blinks.
