Connecting the Unit to a Network Device Via Wired Connection

This topic describes connecting the unit to a network device via a wired connection.

  1. Connect the unit to a network device (such as a Wi-Fi access point or switching hub) using a Category 5e or higher LAN cable.

  2. Access the Web App and configure the initial settings of the unit.

    For details, see “Accessing the Web App from a Web Browser” and “Initializing the Unit.”

Connecting to a network without a DHCP server

The unit is configured by factory default to obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server.

In general, commercially available Wi-Fi routers are equipped with a DHCP server function. However, if connecting to a network that does not have a DHCP server, set a fixed IP address using the following procedure.

  1. Remove the power supply from the unit.
  2. Set SETUP switch 8 to the ON position on the connector block (fixed IP address mode).

    The IP address of the unit will be set to 192.168.0.100, regardless of the IP address setting in the web menu.
  4. Set the IP address of the setup computer to a unique address on the same network, such as 192.168.0.200.
  5. Connect the setup computer and unit directly using a LAN cable.
  6. On the setup computer, enter “192.168.0.100” in the address bar of a web browser
    The Web App of the unit is displayed. You will be prompted to enter the user name and password. Configure settings as described in “Initializing the Unit.”
  7. Configure the following in [Network] – [Wired LAN] – [IPv4] in the web menu and press the [OK] button.
    The settings are examples only. Change the settings according to the network to connect.
