Connecting to the IS2000
Once you have installed the software you can communicate to the In-Sight 2000. As it
communicates over Ethernet TCP/IP you will need to provide it with an IP address so that it will
communicate to your computer. As a default all In-Sight systems are configured as DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) so out of the box it is expecting to be “served” an IP address. If your
computer does not have DHCP Server software on it (most computers don’t) then you need to
assign the In-Sight 2000 and your computer static IP addresses. This section will show you how to
do that. Launch In-Sight Explorer version 5.2.3 from the icon on your desk top if it is not already
open. When it opens you will see at the left side a pane labeled Application Steps and the first step
is Get Connected; place your cursor on this step and click the mouse to select it (if it is not already
highlighted) (Fig. 1).
