Installation

When installing one or more new LAN Docking Stations to your network, you can set it up in
one of two ways:
• Use the DHCP service on your network to assign IP addresses to the LAN Docking Stations
based on the MAC address of each LAN Docking Station, or
• Set the LAN docking station to a default IP address to access the configuration interface and
assign a fixed IP address
The LAN Docking has a default configuration setting to use the DHCP server to obtain its IP
address. This makes it easier to do a batch installation of several LAN Docking Stations in a
corporate network. See
If your network does not support DHCP, you can set the LAN Docking Station to use a default
static IP address to get started. See
information.

Installation using DHCP

If your network has a DHCP server, follow the steps below to install new LAN Docking Stations:
Make a note of the MAC address of every LAN Docking Station that you are about to install
1
(The MAC address can be found on the bottom plate of the LAN Docking Station).
Configure your DHCP server to assign an IP address to each LAN Docking Station based on
2
the MAC address of each LAN Docking Station. Refer to the documentation of your DHCP
server for more information.
Deploy the LAN Docking Stations throughout your organization. Connect each LAN
3
Docking Station to the main power supply with the included Philips power supply. Connect
each LAN Docking Station to a free network socket using the RJ45 network cable.
Open a Web browser on your PC and load the LAN Docking Station configuration interface
4
for each assigned IP address to configure the LAN Docking Stations individually. See
Configuration on page 8 for more information.
D Note: The LAN Docking Station is configured by default to obtain an IP address from your
DHCP server. If this default setting has been changed, you must reset the device to its factory
default settings before starting. Read
on how to reset the LAN Docking Station to factory default settings.
