Ethernet Network Jack; Pnet Network Jacks - PRICOM Design Layout Lighting Solution User Manual

3.2 Ethernet Network Jack

Your Layout Lighting Solution leverages the best of Web Technology and utilizes HTML
and java for all setup and configuration functions via a Laptop, Tablet, or Smart Phone.
In order to achieve connectivity, you need to connect your Layout Lighting Main Board
to an Ethernet Network. The Ethernet Interface will automatically negotiate 10Mbit or
100Mbit connection depending on your network router.
The Layout Lighting Main Board will automatically request an "IP Address" (Internet
Protocol Address). This is the address that enables your PC/Laptop/Tablet to talk to the
Layout Lighting Board. In order to automatically request this IP address, we utilize
DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol). If your home network does not support
DHCP, please contact PRICOM (help@pricom.com) and we will help walk you through
an alternate approach.
Even with DHCP, it is necessary for you to determine exactly what IP address was given
by your home network. If you know how to login to your home gateway, you can look at
the connected hosts list, and look for a MAC address that matches the sticker on the
bottom of your Layout Lighting Main Board (1C:97:3D:00:xx:xx). Once you know the IP
address given to your Layout Lighting Main Board, we suggest setting up a "reservation"
so that it will always receive the same IP address.
We are working on a better solution to this IP address situation, please check our web site
for software updates for this and all of our products.

3.3 PNET Network Jacks

The Layout Lighting Main Board includes TWO PNET Jacks for convenient connection
of many PNET devices. Both jacks are the same, giving you the flexibility to 'loop'
through and connect many devices to the PNET network.
