Preparations for Using the Network Functions

Precautions

• The software specifications of this display are subject to change for improvements without notice.

• Screens shown by application software may differ slightly from the illustrations shown in this manual.

• For safety, connect the port of this display only to a network where there is no danger of excessive voltage or voltage surges.

• The steps described in this manual are guaranteed only for use under the following environment conditions.

Operating system:

Microsoft Windows XP/Windows Vista/

Windows 7

Browser:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or later

• To ensure security on the network, setting a user name and password is recommended. For information on how to make these settings, see the

section “Setup screen” (page 38).

For security settings, refer to your network administrator.

Setting an IP address

The display can be connected to a network with

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN cable.

When connected to a LAN, the IP addresses of the display can be set using one of the following two methods. Consult your network administrator regarding details about IP address selection.

• Assigning a fixed IP address to the display

Normally this method should be used.

• Automatically obtaining an IP address

If the network to which the display is connected has a DHCP server, you can have the DHCP server automatically assign an IP address. Note that in this case the IP address may change every time the display in which the display is installed is turned on.

Before setting the IP address, connect the LAN cable to the display to establish the network. After about 30 seconds, turn on the display, and then start making the desired settings.
