Establishing a LAN Connection to the LWS Console
Introduction
To communicate with the LWS you also need a personal computer, tablet or smartphone.
Communication needs to be established between your device and the LWS, at least partially through
a wired LAN (local area network).
It is also possible to establish communication through a hybrid wired/wireless LAN too.
There are three basic ways to set up the networking between the LWS console and a host computer.
1. A peer to peer network with Static IP addresses. Use crossover Ethernet Cable( Normally red or
black).
2. With the LWS as a static IP Address on a larger existing LAN. Use Straight Through Ethernet
Cable (normally blue).
3. With the LWS as a dynamic IP Address on a larger existing LAN. Use Straight Through Ethernet
Cable( Normally blue).
If you have an existing wired LAN and you wish to add the LWS to it you will have to work in co-
operation with your network administrator.
You can contact LPI and they can email you a windows program to make it easy to set up the LWS on
your network.
Alternatively you can initially set up the communications as a peer to peer network, and then change
the configuration once communication is established.
Setting up a direct connection network for the LWS using Windows 7
All networked computers have what is known as an IP Address.
The LWS console has as a default address out of the factory, which is 19.2.168.1.9.0
The LWS console has as a default address mask out of the factory, which is 25.5..25.5..25.5..0
To set up a direct connection network you need to set up your PC to have a static IP Address of
19.2.168.1.1 and an Address Mask 25.5..25.5..25.5..0.
These settings will enable communication.
