If >Determine automatically (DHCP)< (recommended) is selected, the DHCP server of the network will assign an IP address to the SEG V automatically. This option is set ex works. If >Manual< is selected, then go to SEG V – IP address and enter a free IP network address, e.g.: Network mask 192.168.246.002 / Standard gateway: 192.168.204.2.
2. Use for the function Test Wi-Fi configuration. The Wi-Fi configuration is tested. ð The address of the selected Wi-Fi is displayed under SEG V IP address if the Wi-Fi configuration has been tested suc- cessfully. 7.1.3. Reset Wi-Fi configuration Reset the Wi-Fi configuration again here.
7.1.5. Activate the Screen Duplication The screen duplication enables to have the SEG V display indicated on an external terminal device via VNC viewer. Thus it is possible to do all work steps via external device. The response time of the screen indication depends on the network uti- lization.

Calibrate touch screen Proceed as follows to calibrate the touch screen: 1.
7.7.8. Level compensation Activate the level compensation and make settings here. A level sensor registers the inclination angle of the SEG V and compensates floor unevenness and inclinations of up to 2% to prevent improper measurements. 7.7.8.1. Executing Manual Level Compensation Proceed as follows to perform the manual level compensation: 1.
3. Open the list under Level compensation with . 4. Select >Automatic<. If >Automatic< is selected, the level of the vertical and horizontal axis adjusts automatically so that any unevenness in the SEG V setup area is compensated. Now the device is balanced. 5. Confirm the selection with .

Depending on the manufacturer, various function tests must be carried out here. • A diagnostic device, e.g. from Hella Gutmann, is required to apply settings for various vehicles with automatic head- light leveling. The vehicle ECU must be in basic mode during the setting process. If the light-dark border is set cor- rectly, then this value is stored as the new normal position.

8.3.3. Adjusting the Height of the Laser Sight The laser sight provides the option to align the SEG V and headlights using a laser pointer. Two parallel points on the vehi- cle front can be detected with the generated light band. If the required power supply (9 V block battery, 9 V type) is not available, then the alignment can be carried out using the broad-band sight.
