3.2.3 Adjusting a Hydra to the LAN
Before the HYDRA is connected to your LAN, its network settings have to be adapted accordingly. If the HYDRA is
already configured to your location you can skip this section.
For the configuration you need a crossed network cable to connect a PC to the H
YDRA. Please follow the steps
below.
• First consult your network administrator to get a valid IP address and hostname.
• Disconnect your PC from the LAN.
• Configure the network settings of the PC in a way that it is suitable for the network settings of the H
YDRA, i.e.
use the same net mask as the H
YDRA and an IP address within the same address range. Below you find the
factory set network settings of the H
YDRA:
hostname: hydra
IP address: 150.158.183.146
net mask 255.255.0.0

Factory set network settings
• Connect the network connectors of the PC and of the single board computer of the HYDRA with a crossed
network cable.
• Switch on the H
YDRA and connect to it, please refer to section 3.2.1 Connecting from a user PC to the Hydra above.
Take care to log in as administrator; you need this to be able to change the network settings of the H
YDRA.
• As soon as the iS
TUDIO software is operable you can change the network settings of the HYDRA:
Open the Module setup dialog box with the setup module command in the Modules menu. On the
General tab you can enter a user defined name for the H
YDRA and, if multiple HYDRAS are used in one wall, a
wall name. With the Network tab the network settings of the H
YDRA can be set. Please refer to section 5.3.4
Setup module for a description of these settings.
