Your monitor can be connected to a LAN allowing you to 

control it from a PC on the LAN. 

You can also configure the monitor to send e-mail notification 

when it has a problem. 

The connection requires a commercially available LAN cable 

(UTP cable, Category 5, straight through).

TIPS

•  You must assign an IP address to the monitor by following 

the procedures in “Settings to connect to a LAN”. (See the 

description on the right.)

•  Your PC must be installed with Internet Explorer (version 7.0 

or later). 

•   To control the monitor via LAN, set RS-232C/LAN SELECT 

to LAN. (See page 25.)

•  You cannot use RS-232C and LAN control simultaneously. 

•  Personal information such as e-mail addresses can be 

registered in the monitor. Before transferring or disposing of 

the monitor,  initialize all settings by selecting ALL RESET 

1. (See page 32.) Note that ALL RESET 2 will not initialize 

e-mail addresses and other settings.

Set the monitor’s IP address and subnet mask to match the 

settings of your LAN. 

These settings can be made on either the monitor or a PC 

connected to the monitor.

The settings depend on the configuration of your LAN. Ask 

your LAN administrator for details. 

Set RS-232C/LAN SELECT of COMMUNICATION SETTING
