Installation – Single Module
1) If the system includes optional Battery Module for LAN-XI Type 2831-A,
connect it to the right-hand side (looking from the back) of the LAN-XI
module using the included hex wrench and the four captive screws.
Shown: Hex Wrench QX-1315*, 2 mm.
*Included with LAN-XI Module Types 3050, 3052, 3053, 3056, 3160 and 3161

2) If you are going to use Type 2831-A, connect it to the LAN-XI module using
Single Module Battery Adaptor ZH-0686*as shown.
3) Connect a network cable. Shown: LAN Cable AO-1450†, 2 m Cat 6.
4) If you will not be using power over ethernet, connect a power cable – one
of:
• Mains Adaptor ZG-0426*, 90 – 264 VAC
• Charger for Li-Ion Battery ZG-0469†,90–264VAC
• Car Utility Socket Cable AO-0546, 10 – 32 VDC
• External Battery Cable AO-0548, 10 – 32 VDC
5) Insert a mini-SD card, or a micro-SD card with an adaptor.
Shown: 16 GB Micro-SD Card with Mini-SD Adaptor UL-1018‡.
Note:
If you connect to a LAN-XI 100 kHz module Type 3052 that is not inside a
frame, the enclosed Ferrite Choke LK-0013 must be attached to the LAN cable,
close to the module, to fulfil the CE requirements of “EN/IEC 61000–6–4:
Generic emission standard for industrial environments."
The Ferrite Choke is not necessary when Type 3052 is in a LAN-XI frame, or
when used without a LAN cable as a LAN-XI Notar recorder.
Connection and Setup
Connecting a LAN-XI Module to a Network
Using DHCP
LAN-XI modules are configured to use a DHCP server by default. If the module
has been set to a static IP address via the module’s home page, you must reset
the module to be a DHCP client. To reset the module, press and release the
Control button on the front of the module to display the menu, then scroll down
the menu by pressing the button once for each menu item. Press and hold the
Controlbuttonfor5 secondswhilethecursorison‘LANreset’inthedisplaymenu.

When the front-end is a DHCP client, simply connect it to the network and
network settings will be supplied by the DHCP server.
Using a Static IP
To assign the module a static IP, first connect the module directly to the
computer or through a DHCP network as explained above. Open the LAN-XI
module’s web page, by typing the IP address from the front of the module into
your web browser, and follow these steps:
1) Click Network.
2) Click Static.
3) Enter an IP address, and, if necessary, a mask and gateway.
4) Click Save changes.
The module now has a static IP.
Connection of LAN-XI Module Directly to PC
This method only works when both the module and the computer are
configured to be DHCP clients. To reconfigure the module to be a DHCP client,
follow the instructions in Connecting a LAN-XI Module to a Network.
To connect a PC directly to a LAN-XI module:
1) Start up your PC and the LAN-XI module without connecting them. Wait for
them both to detect that there is no LAN connection as indicated (a) in the

6
PC tray if the notification icon is switched on, and (b) on the module, when
it displays the IP address 0.0.0.0.
2) Connect the PC and LAN-XI module with a standard LAN cable and wait
until an IP address is obtained. The message that the PC may give about
having limited or no connectivity (c) is an indication that the connection is
working.
An IP address in the default range 169.254.*.*, will be assigned to the
module and shown on its display (d).
3) Open a browser on your PC, PDA or SmartPhone and enter the IP address
(e) to open the front-end’s web page.
Setup of LAN-XI Notar
If your LAN-XI Notar was ordered at the same time as the LAN-XI module, then
the LAN-XI Notar firmware and license will have been installed and tested at
Brüel & Kjær. Go to “Using LAN-XI Notar” to continue.
If your LAN-XI Notar was ordered separately, go to “Installing a LAN-XI Notar
License” to continue.
LAN-XI Software Updates
Brüel & Kjær continually updates LAN-XI firmware. There are three ways to
download a firmware update to your LAN-XI Module: by connecting to Front-
end Setup following the directions in the next section, by going to
www.bksv.com and selecting Support,Downloads (skip to step 3 below) or
through the front-end’s home page by following the directions below:

Using Power over Ethernet (PoE)
LAN-XImodulescanreceivepowerovertheirethernetcablesfromPoEswitches,
such as UA-0265, 10-port Gigabit Managed Switch with PTP and PoE (8 ports),
or from PoE injectors, such as the ZyXEL®PoE-12 Power over Ethernet injector
shown.
Powering a module in this way is easy – simply connect the ethernet cable.
Note:
For Type 3160-A-042, power over ethernet can only supply enough power to
supply two input channels and two generator channels.
