Accessing an LQ Unit when in Link-Local Mode

To access the CCM of an LQ unit in link-local, you must connect to it from a PC that is also in link-local mode.

Devices will revert to link-local mode if they are configured to DHCP and fail to find a DHCP address on the network or device they are attempting to connect to. A PC can be put into link-local mode by ensuring it is in DHCP mode and connecting it to the LQ unit that is in link-local with a standard Ethernet cable. The PC will look for a dynamically generated IP address (DHCP), and when it does not find one will enter link-local mode automatically.

Once the PC is connected to the LQ and in link-local mode, you can connect to your LQ unit by opening a browser window on the computer and inputting the unit’s IP address (from the front panel display) into the address field. This takes you to the Core Configuration Manager where you can configure the device as usual.

Note:

The units will operate in link-local, but for optimum performance it is recommended that they are used with either static or DHCP network settings.
