Connecting the PC to the LAN Through the ViewStation EX,
ViewStation FX, or VS4000
Do this if you need to use the system to provide LAN connectivity
for your PC.
1. Ensure that the PC and the system are both powered off.
2. Connect the system to the LAN using the LAN connector and
cable.
3. Connect the blue RJ-45 cable into the blue PC port on the back
of the system and to the Ethernet port on your computer.
4. Power on the system.
5. Select System Info > Admin Setup > LAN/H.323 >
LAN/Intranet
to configure the system’s LAN/H.323 settings.
The LAN & Intranet screen appears.
6. If your LAN does not use DHCP, go to step 9.
7. If your LAN uses DHCP, select Client in the DHCP field to
enable the system to obtain an IP address from a server on your
network.
8. After you have changed the DHCP settings, a message lets you
know that the system will have to be reset in order to save the
changes. Select Yes. Another message informs you that the
system is about to restart.
9. Select the System Info icon to go to the System Information
screen. Your system's IP address should appear in the IP
Address
field.
You have finished this procedure. The rest of this procedure
applies to LANs that do not use DHCP.
Note
If the IP address field displays “...waiting...,” the system did not get
an address from the LAN. Check the LAN connection on the back of
the system and try again. When the system is properly connected,
the green light on the connector is illuminated and the orange light
blinks.
