Accessing the i401 web page
Firestar i401 lasers are pre-configured with a fixed IP address that allows a simple Ethernet connection
between the i401 laser and a host. To connect your host computer to the i401 laser using a peer-to-peer
Ethernet connection, perform the steps in the following sections:
Important Note:
Connection to a local network is permitted as long as the laser’s fixed IP address is
unique to your network, otherwise a peer-to-peer connection is required.
Note:
The procedure described below may require the assistance of your IT Department if your facil-
ity’s Ethernet settings are determined automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). The i401 peer-to-peer Ethernet connection must be connected to a computer with a
static IP address that is not connected to a local network.
