- Page 5 Once boot-up is complete and a connection is established, the connection method and static IP address can be changed through the System Settings menu using the sensor’s internal web page. Refer to the additional information in this document or the LAN programming guide for further details.
- Page 6 Get Started This section covers recommended steps to get your LB5900 series LAN sensor up and running quickly. Make Sure Power is Available LB5900 Series Power Sensors with Option LAN, are powered through the Ethernet cable using PoE (Power over Ethernet). Most computer Ethernet ports do not supply power, in which case a PoE injector or a router / switch with PoE should be utilized as shown in the images below.
- Page 7 Locate the IP Address The following assumes that LAN power sensor is set to its default settings. Upon power-up, the LED indicator will flash blue to indicate a DHCP search. If unsuccessful after 45 seconds, the sensor will default to its self-assigned static address. In either case, the sensor’s indicator will show green, indicating a successful self-test.

- Page 10 Static IP Connection Summary (from factory default settings) When a LadyBug LAN power sensor is first attached to the Ethernet port, it is ready to accept a DHCP address, this will occur if a router is present, and a Static IP address will NOT be available.
- Page 11 Connect to the Sensor and Test Once the sensor's IP address has been identified, various software applications can interact with it. However, any device seeking to access the sensor must be within the same LAN (Local Area Network). While connections outside of the LAN are possible, the subject is beyond the scope of this Guide.
- Page 12 Figure 5 – Left Power Meter Web Page, Center Interactive IO, Right System Settings Change Sensor Connection Mode (DHCP, Static, Self-Assign) Once the power sensor is connected and the web power meter is functioning, changes can be made to the LAN connectivity options. This example details changing the sensor from its default DHCP setting, to a static address.

Look for the sensor in the right window under the Add Network Device dropdown.
- Page 14 If a LAN Device name was added previously it will appear in the LAN Device Name box lower in the window. The entire resource can be renamed by completing the Name box at the top, enter LB5940L again, then select Save directly above the window. The sensor is now available for use in the NI MAX system.
