Quick IP Setup Summary
Out of the box, the Lynx is configured for Ethernet access using static IP addressing
to http://10.0.0.3. Two temporary connection methods are suggested here to allow
you to change the Lynx's defaults to be compatible with your network.
The Lynx is shipped with a red-colored CAT5 Crossover cable for direct PC to Lynx
connections, and a yellow CAT5 network cable for the network-to-Lynx connection.
Preferred Setup - Wired IP Network
Whether your IP network employs DHCP or provides a specific IP address, follow
these steps to change the factory presets to the IP settings you require.
Caution Due to the nature of configuring Network parameters on a
Windows PC, there is no 'undo' for some steps as they will
first remove your existing network settings. It is suggested
that you first write your existing settings down before deleting
or changing settings in your efforts to connect with the Lynx.
This direct-connection method also may be used for a Lynx application in a non-net-
worked site, such as a 'PC-to-Lynx stand-alone system'.
Direct Setup: Connect to Lynx with your PC
This procedure allows you to connect to and operate the Lynx using your PC and a
browser, without other network equipment. Use the red Crossover cable for this.
Use this if you do not yet have an IP Network connection (either a static address or
DHCP) configured for your new Lynx system, and you wish to set it up before that
network connection is available. Later - after your network connection is available -
you will make a few network settings changes to connect the Lynx to your network.
Note there is no 'Undo'. Record any existing IP address settings in your PC before you
change it, in the event you must return this PC to its original settings.
Connections
1. Place the Lynx near your PC. Connect the ac power adapter to the Lynx, and
plug it in. It will take approximately 30 seconds for Lynx to boot.
2. Disconnect your PC's network adapter from the existing connections.
3.
Connect the IP crossover cable (Red cable provided with Lynx) from your
desktop PC to the Network jack (10/100 T) on the Lynx.
