Laptop/Computer Setup

Step 1 - You must have a computer to access and configure the AcquiLite. This computer must have an ethernet connection
(on the LAN or by direct connection) and must have a web browser installed such as Internet Explorer or Netscape.

Note: If your building already has an existing LAN that the AcquiLite is attached to, you can use that existing computer on
that LAN. Check with your network administrator for details. If this option is available, use that computer and skip to step 10
below.

The remainder of this section will assume the installer has brought a laptop to the site, and will connect the laptop to the
building LAN, or directly to the AcquiLite. Attach the laptop to the AcquiLite or LAN as shown in figure 6, Ethernet
hookup.
