Preparations for Using
the Network Functions
Installing an optional adaptor equipped with a
network terminal will make it possible to connect to
the network.
Also read the instruction manual of the optional
adaptor beforehand.
Precaution
For safety, connect the port of this display only to a
network where there is no danger of excessive voltage
or voltage surges.
Setting an IP address
When connected to a LAN, the IP addresses of the
display can be set using one of the following two
methods. Consult your network administrator
regarding details about IP address selection.
• Assigning a fixed IP address to the display
Normally this method should be used. Note that in
factory setting, the display is set to obtain an IP
address automatically.
• Automatically obtaining an IP address
If the network to which the display is connected has
a DHCP server, you can have the DHCP server
automatically assign an IP address. Note that in this
case the IP address may change every time the
display in which the display is installed is turned on.
Before setting the IP address, connect the LAN cable
to the display to establish the network. After about 30
seconds, turn on the display, and then start making the
desired settings.
