Introduction

The network connection and setup instructions depend on whether you'll be
connecting Monarch LCS on a network with a DHCP server, such as through a
router, or a network without a DHCP server.
If connecting to a network with a DHCP server, Monarch LCS must be set to
DHCP IP mode. If your network does not have a DHCP server, Monarch LCS
must be set to Static IP mode. By default, Monarch LCS is set to DHCP IP mode.
Once connected to a network, the stream and record settings are specified using
the Monarch LCS Command Center.
To access the Command Center, you can enter the network IP address of your
Monarch LCS device or use the Monarch LCS Utils
connecting to a network with a DHCP server, the Monarch LCS IP address is
assigned by the DHCP server. In this case, you can use the Matrox Monarch LCS
Utils application to find the Monarch LCS IP address. When connecting to a
network without a DHCP server, you must assign a static IP address to Monarch
LCS. A default IP address is provided when in Static IP mode.
