• IP Address
The first three 3-digit groups (from left to right) should be matched to
those of the LS9 IP address. The last 3-digit group should be set to a
different, unique number. In this example the IP address is
192.168.000.052 (or 192.168.0.52).
• Subnet Mask
This should be set to 255.255.255.000
• Default Gateway
It is only necessary to change this setting when connecting to a
separate network. In most cases the default setting can be left as-is.
• Device Name
Specify a name for the device.
• Device IP Address
This should be set the same address as the "IP ADDRESS" in the LS9 NETWORK pop-up
window. The Device IP Address should be different from the computer' s IP address.
• Device MAC Address
The same address as shown in the LS9 MISC SETUP window MAC ADDRESS (Media
Access Control address) should appear here. This value is automatically read from the LS9
when an Ethernet cable is connected and the network is set up properly with the
appropriate IP addresses.
• Device Port No.
Set to 1 to allow communication with the LS9.
