Lynx II Setup for Administrators and Users
This section provides instructions on how to connect your Lynx II to the Lynx II Web
Client Interface. The operation of the Lynx II Web Client application will be covered in
Web-Based Operations on page 70, additional information on using the application and
algorithms used by the application can be found in Non-parameterized ROI on page 192.
If you have a single Lynx II connected to a dedicated network whose addresses are
managed by you, then the factory default settings could suffice. More often than not, it is
typically the case that the Lynx II will be connected to a network with other devices, in
which case the address of each may be dynamically assigned by the network’s DHCP
server or must be manually assigned to eliminate address contentions.
Each site’s network requirements are unique. To connect your Lynx II to your network
typically requires changing the Lynx II’s settings to match your network’s requirements.
To make such changes, you will need to first connect to the Lynx II using Ethernet or
USB.
