    Mounting Considerations QubeVu DimStation XL is designed to be attached to a variety of mounts, e.g. floor stands, wall mounts, ceiling mounts etc. Regardless of how it is mounted, the following must be considered to ensure best performance. • The scan head must be leveled. • The scan head must be positioned centrally over the measuring platform, from the sensor’s perspective. • The scan head must be mounted at either 1.5 metres or 2 metres above the measuring platform. This distance is measured from the sensor lens glass to the measuring platform. QubeVu DimStation XL Quick Start Guide...
  • Page 11: Before You Begin

You have a computer nearby with either a wireless or Ethernet connection, running a browser that supports HTML5 (Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 16, Safari 5) You have the calibration object available.

  • Page 13: Defining Qubevu On Your Network

    Defining QubeVu On Your Network QubeVu is installed as a network device and can be configured with a static IP address or using DHCP. Talk to your network administrator to determine the best approach for your enterprise network. QubeVu is shipped with a dual IP configuration. The network interface will lease an IP address from any available DHCP server, however it also has a fixed, failsafe IP address of 169.254.1.1. If your preference is to use DHCP your network administrator can advise the IP address leased by QubeVu. Configure PC network settings to connect to QubeVu on 169.254.1.1 • Connect QubeVu to a computer using a standard Ethernet cable. • Configure your computer’s Ethernet interface with an IP address of 169.254.1.10 Consult with your network administrator if you are unsure how to change your computer’s IP address. Verify connectivity Before you begin, verify that you can communicate with QubeVu from your computer. • Use the “ping” command to confirm connectivity. • Ping 169.254.1.1 If the ping command does not show QubeVu is responding this may be due to an issue with your network configuration. Make sure that wireless networking is turned off and then try the ping command again. If this is still unsuccessful contact your network administrator for further assistance.
