5-4 Setup and Connecting to the Ethernet 947191 StrainBook/616 User’s Manual
STEP 1 – Install the Software
Install the software prior to connecting the StrainBook/616 to the Ethernet. If you have not already
installed the software, do so at this time. Refer to the section entitled Software Installation, page 5-2.
STEP 2 – Determine the type of Network Connection
To properly connect and configure a StrainBook/616, you must determine the type of network that the
device will become part of. This is because the type of network used has a direct bearing on the IP address
of the device.
The four network types are as follows:
Dedicated Network - with a direct cable connection from the PC to the device
Dedicated Network - making use of a network hub or switch
LAN with a DHCP server
(Local Area Network with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
LAN without a DHCP server
(Local Area Network with no Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Brief descriptions and illustrations follow.
Dedicated Network - with a direct cable connection from the PC to the device
In this scenario a StrainBook/616 is connected directly to an Ethernet jack on a host computer.
