Host Computer Configuration

Figure 1– UPnP Configuration


Starting the Graphical User Interface

If you already have Java 1.5 installed and UPnP enabled, all you have to do is to click on the icon My Lighting (refer to Figure 1) appearing in the My Network Places either on the Start Menu or Desktop.

When you start up the GUI for the first time you will be presented with a user-id/password dialog box. Please enter admin for both the user-id as well as the password.

If the “My Lighting” icon did not show up on your My Network Places or if you don’t have Java installed, you will need to follow the configuration steps below. If you have a personal firewall , with the exception of Symantec, please contact us to walk you through the configuration.


UPnP Configuration

UPnP is normally disabled on all computers by default. In order to make sure and/or to configure UPnP, please follow the following steps (refer to Figure 4-1):


  • Click on My Network Places (either on the Start Menu or Desktop)
  • On the left Navigation Pane
    • If you see “Hide icons for networked UPnP devices”, you are done. No further action is necessary
    • If you see “Show icons for networked UPnP devices”, click on it and let the system get configured. You are done.


Java Installation

If you already have JRE 1.5 installed, then no further action is necessary. Otherwise, click on the jre-1_5_0_10-windows-i586-p.exe on the accompanying CD to install JRE.
