Connecting Power
To connect the power, do the following:
1. Connect the power supply connector to the unit and hand-tighten.
2. Plug the power adapter into an available electrical outlet.
An LED indicator on the unit lights when power is applied.

5
Setting the IP Address
Each GoMax unit and Gocator sensor on the sensor system network must have a unique IP
address. By default, GoMax units are set to an IP address of 192.168.1.6. If this does not conflict with
other GoMax units or Gocator sensors on the network, you can skip this section.
To set the IP address of a GoMax unit, do the following:
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect a computer to the ETH 1 port on the GoMax unit.
2. On the computer, launch an Internet browser and navigate to 192.168.1.6.
The GoMax web interface is displayed.

6
3. In the Manage panel, click the Networking category.
The Networking category settings are displayed.
4. Under Interface 1, set the IP address and click Save.
The GoMax unit power cycles after you confirm you want to do this. Changing network
settings stops the acceleration of any accelerated sensors.
After the GoMax unit restarts, its IP address is changed to the specified address. Use this
address to access the unit.
5. Disconnect the laptop from the GoMax unit.

7
Mounting GoMax
GoMax provides mounting holes on the back and on three sides of the unit. Although you
can mount GoMax using any of these holes and in any orientation, to avoid overheating, LMI
recommends the following:
• The ventilation holes should be kept free of obstructions. (There are two vents on opposite
sides of the unit.)
• The intake vent (larger vent with 18 holes and anti-dust mesh) should be at the bottom.
LMI provides DIN rail clips to mount GoMax on a DIN rail. Note the recommended orientation
(smaller vent at the top) in the following illustration:
You can also mount the GoMax unit directly to a frame. All mounting holes are specified as M4X0.7
- 6H, with a thread depth of 3.65 mm. The same recommendations for orientation and mounting
points still apply if you mount GoMax directly to a frame.

8
Connecting to a Sensor System
You must connect GoMax to a sensor system through the Gigabit switch the sensor is connected
to. Connect GoMax to the switch using an Ethernet cable and the ETH 1 port on the GoMax unit.
NOTE: Before connecting GoMax to a sensor system, make sure that it has a unique IP address
(see “Setting the IP Address” on page 5).

9
Using GoMax
To accelerate a sensor, do the following:
1. Connect a computer to the switch using an Ethernet cable.

10
2. On the computer, using a web browser, connect to the GoMax web interface using the unit’s
IP address.
The GoMax web interface is displayed. The Sensor System category is preselected in the
Manage panel.

11
3. Under Sensors, in the Visible Sensors list, click the toggle to the right of the sensor you
want to accelerate.
The sensor is now accelerated.
To access an accelerated sensor, do the following:
• Under Sensors, in the Accelerated list, click the sensor’s serial number to the left.
A page providing a link to the accelerated sensor’s web interface opens in a new tab.
Configure the sensor as you normally would. For information on configuring a sensor, see
the sensor’s user manual.
For more information on using GoMax, see the GoMax user manual.
