LBX how to connect to a Wired Network

Issue:  Needing to connect to a wired network using Ethernet cable.

Resolution: LBX has two methods to connect to ethernet Dynamic and Static.


Method 1: Ethernet Dynamic Mode
Note: This method should be used by connecting the LBX directly  wired to the customer router, its easy and does not change how their PC connects to internet.
1. Connect LaunchBox and PC or Mobile (IOS) devices to the
 same Ethernet router using Ethernet cables.
2. From the Settings Menu, change the “Ethernet Mode” to
 “Dynamic”.
3. Wait 10 seconds for LaunchBox to adopt the change. 


Method 2: Ethernet Static Mode
Note: This method isn't recommended but in some situation may be needed. Customer should be  notified that setting static connection on the NIC (Network Interface Card, I.E. Ethernet adapter) will alter how the PC  can connect to internet. Meaning they may need a second NIC installed on the PC that has no static IP set on it, that is wired to their router, or use Wi-Fi to connect to internet instead. On IOS device they would use Wi-Fi to be connected to internet at the same time using static on the NIC. 
1. Connect LaunchBox and PC or Mobile devices (IOS) to the
 same Ethernet router using Ethernet cables.
2. From the Settings Menu, change the “Ethernet Mode” to
 “Static”.

3. Depending on which device PC or Mobile device you will need to go in and manually set your IP setting for the ethernet Connection.
