Imprinting a Legra Radio
You can physically connect your Legra Radio to a network device other
than a Legra Switch. However, before connecting, you must imprint the
Legra Radio with information from a Legra Switch LS2012. Imprinting
transfers the Legra Switch’s DNS information on to the Legra Radio,
allowing you to route IP packets to and from the Legra Radio across
your network to the remote Legra Switch.
The imprinting process begins when you plug the Legra Radio into a
Legra Switch with a category 5 Ethernet cable. The Legra Switch sends
Power over Ethernet and DNS information to the Legra Radio. The
Legra Radio’s Power LED blinks slowly during the imprinting process
and becomes solid green when imprinting is complete.
When imprinting is complete, you can disconnect the Legra Radio,
install it, and connect it to your network device. You must then
configure your network so that the Legra Switch and Legra Radio
transmit IP packets to one another through your network. You can
remove the imprinted information when you hold down the RESET
button for several seconds. After RESET, you must then connect the the
Legra Radio to imprint information from another Legra Switch.
