Fma-Lg101 Configuration; Overview - LG FMA-LG101 Installation & Configuration Manual

Overview

Once you have completed the required steps to set the PC's network connections, you can update the
FMA-LG101 using either the FTG Device Configuration Application software (v5.0.0 or higher) or the FMA-
LG101 software web page.
Experienced installers can refer to the FMA-LG101 configuration quick reference overviews below if
extended directions are not required. Otherwise, proceed to the appropriate section depending on whether
you are using the FTG Device Configuration Application software or the FMA-LG101 software web page.
FMA-LG101 Configuration Prerequisites
• The FMA-LG101 must be installed in the equipment rack prior to configuration (see FMA-LG101 installation
and cabling information on previous pages).
• You will need to know the IP address of the FMA-LG101 (see "FMA-LG101 Ethernet Connection/Network
Options" on previous page).
Network Ethernet connection: Consult the network administrator to obtain the IP address that has been
assigned by a DHCP server to the FMA-LG101.
Direct Ethernet connection: The FMA-LG101 uses its default IP address (10.20.1.120).
• Create a new or identify an existing FMA Configuration (.fma) file to use for updating the FMA-LG101 (see
"Creating an FMA Configuration File" on pages 8 and 9, as necessary).
