Initial start-up
Establishing the required connections for device configuration
→ Always observe the adjacent safety instructions and notes.
Select the description a), b), or c) applicable to your present constellation
for the power supply of the device
a) Power supply via external power supply unit| b) PoE power supply
via PoE network device| c) PoE power supply via separate PoE injector
---|---|---
Establish a power supply usingthe external power supply unit.| Connect a
network cable to the Ethernet portmarked PoE on the device and a free
PoEactive network socket on your local network (e. g. on a PoE-capable
switch).| Connect a network cable to the Ethernet port marked PoE on the
device and the output of the PoE injector. Then connect another network cable
to the input of the PoE injector and a free NON-PoE-active network outlet of
your local network.
Connect the PoE injector to the power supply.
Always observe the documentation of the PoE injector or PoE switch!
→ Use suitable cables to connect other required device interfaces to other
components and, in the case of devices with Wi-Fi interfaces, connect any
antennas supplied.
→ Select one of the following configuration methods a) or b).
a) Configuration via the local network (recommended)
Note that an active DHCP server is required in the network connected to the
device.
Connect the computer intended for configuration (e.g. notebook) either
directly via Ethernet cable to one of the ETH or LAN interfaces of the device,
or to a switch in the same network.
The possibly existing interface CONFIG or COM is not suitable for
configuration via the network!
b) Configuration via the serial interface of a connected computer (if
available)
You need a serial configuration cable which is connected to the possibly
existing CONFIG or COM interface of the device. This socket is exclusively
intended for connection to a serial interface!
Options for initial start-up of the unconfigured device
→ Option 1: via web browser (WEBconfig, not for serially connected
devices)
Configuration via web browser is an easy and fast variant, since no additional
software is required on the computer used for configuration.
Note: If a certificate warning appears in your browser when trying to
connect to your device, there is a button or link on the displayed browser
page to connect to the device anyway (depending on the browser, usually under
Advanced).
In the following, select the description a) or b) that applies to your setup
for configuring the device.
a) Configuration in a network without active DHCP server
For configuration via TCP/IP, the IP address of the device in the local
network (LAN) is required. After power-on, an unconfigured LANCOM device first
checks whether a DHCP server is active in the LAN.
The device can be accessed from any computer with the Auto DHCP function
enabled using a web browser under the IP address 172.23.56.254.
The given IP address can be modified at any time.
b) Configuration in a network with active DHCP server
In this procedure, the DNS server used in your network must be able to resolve
the host name reported by the device via DHCP. When using a LANCOM device as a
DHCP and DNS server, this is the default case.
You can reach your device via https://lan.com-XXYYZZ. Replace XXYYZZ with
the last six digits of the MAC address of your device, which you can find on
the enclosed document LANCOM Management Cloud or on the nameplate of the
device. If necessary, append the domain name of your local network (e. g.
.intern).
- When the computer is connected to an unconfigured LANCOM device, WEBconfig automatically starts the setup wizard Basic settings.
- After the setup wizard has been run through, the initial commissioning of the device is complete.
- If necessary, make further configurations using the setup wizards available for selection.
→ Option 2: via the Windows software LANconfig (www.lancom- systems.com/downloads)
-
Please wait until the booting process of the device is completed before starting LANconfig.
-
Open the device configuration by double-clicking on the unconfigured device in the device list.
Confirm the security notice and first configure a device password under Management -> Admin -> Device configuration. -
Under Wireless-LAN -> General -> Logical WLAN Settings, configure an SSID an associated password (PSK).
The initial commissioning of the device is now complete.
→ Option 3: via the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC)
- Special requirements are necessary to configure the device via the LMC. Information on this topic can be found at www.lancom-systems.com/lmc-access.
General safety instructions
→ Under no circumstances should the device housing be opened and the device
repaired without authorization. Any device with a case that has been opened is
excluded from the warranty.
→ If antennas are available, they may only be installed or replaced when the
device is switched off. Mounting or demounting antennas while the device is
powered on may cause the destruction of the radio module.
→ Mounting, installation, and commissioning of the device may only be carried
out by qualified personnel.
Safety instructions and intended use
In order to avoid harming yourself, third parties or your equipment when
installing your LANCOM device, please observe the following safety
instructions. Operate the device only as described in the corresponding
documentation. Pay particular attention to all warnings and safety
instructions. Use only those third-party devices and components that are
recommended or approved by LANCOM Systems.
Before commissioning the device, be sure to study the corresponding Hardware
Quick Reference which can be downloaded from the LANCOM website www.lancom-
systems.com/downloads.
Any warranty and liability claims against LANCOM Systems are excluded in the
event of any use other than the intended use described below!
Environment
LANCOM devices should only be operated when the following environmental
requirements are met:
→ Ensure that you comply with the temperature and humidity ranges specified in
the Quick Reference Guide for the LANCOM device.
→ Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
→ Ensure that there is adequate air circulation and do not obstruct the
ventilation slots.
→ Do not cover devices or stack them on top of one another
→ The device must be mounted so that it is freely accessible (for example, it
should be accessible without the use of technical aids such as elevating
platforms); a permanent installation (e. g. under plaster) is not permitted.
→ Only outdoor equipment intended for this purpose is to be operated outdoors.
Power supply
Before start-up, the following points must be observed, as improper use can
lead to personal injury and damage to property, as well as voiding the
warranty:
→ The mains plug of the device must be freely accessible.
→ Operate the device only with a professionally installed power supply at a
nearby and at all times freely accessible socket.
→ Only use the enclosed power supply / IEC cable or the one listed in the
hardware quick reference.
→ A high touch current is possible for devices with metal housing and
grounding screw! Before connecting the power supply, connect the grounding
screw to a suitable ground potential.
→ Some devices support power supply via an Ethernet cable (Power over Ethernet
– PoE). Please refer to the corresponding notes in the hardware quick
reference of the device.
→ Never operate damaged components.
→ Only switch on the device when the housing is closed.
→ The device must not be installed during thunderstorms and should be
disconnected from the power supply during thunderstorms.
→ In case of emergency (e. g. damage, ingress of liquids or objects, for
example through the ventilation slots), disconnect the power supply
immediately.
Applications
→ The devices may only be used in accordance with the relevant national
regulations and under consideration of the legal situation applicable there.
→ The devices must not be used for the actuation, control, and data
transmission of machinery that, in case of malfunction or failure, may present
a danger to life and limb, nor for the operation of critical infrastructures.
→ The devices with their respective software are not designed, intended or
certified for use in: the operation of weapons, weapons systems, nuclear
facilities, mass transportation, autonomous vehicles, aircraft, life support
computers or equipment (including resuscitators and surgical implants),
pollution control, hazardous materials management, or other hazardous
