By default, LA-5291 is set up with DHCP enabled and will automatically receive an IP address when its Control
Ethernet port is connected to a network with a DHCP server.
To use a fixed IP address, first click the
Edit button
(6-2D) for the appropriate port which unlocks the settings.
(Please note the
Edit
button of the AES67 port is used for illustration in Figure 2 as the it is replaced by the
Cancel
and
Apply
buttons once you click on it).
Click on the
Use DHCP button
(6-2B) to disable DHCP. The text of the
NET Address
,
Net Mask
, and
Gateway
fields
, which is grayed out when DHCP is enabled, will turn white and become editable. Once the information
is entered, click on the
Apply button
(6-2H) to save the information or the
Cancel button
(6-2G) to back out
without saving any changes. Verify that you have a good network connection by looking for a green dot and the
word
Active
in the status window (6-2C).
Setup is identical for both the Control and AES67 ports.
When connecting to an SNMP server, click on the
SNMP enable button
(6-2F) and enter the IP address of at least
one SNMP server in the
SNMP Server Address fields
(6-2E).
