(If you have a single connection on your computer, skip this step)
1) To run Versa on the local computer, click:【set】 → 【software configuration】 to enter the interface as shown below. The connected IP is the IP corresponding to the current computer network card; the connection port can use the default values. If you have multiple IP addresses, e.g. wireless in your computer, you must choose the same IP as used by Versa Config which is connected to the controller.

7) LAN parameter configuration

The LAN parameter configuration was previously set-up when preparing the network,【Automatic IP acquisition】 has been selected; the advantages of this method are:
• One time setting during first use; IP conflict inside the LAN will not occur, assuring normal system operations.
• If the IP addresses are required for each Display, each IP may be set manually. Cancel the ticked “Automatic IP acquisition” is recommended.
After the manual setting of the LAN parameters, your screen response will be as shown in the following image (Note: IP shall not conflict with other devices in LAN), click [send], to the network parameters in the asynchronous system.
