255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0. A power cycle is required
for any new IP address to take effect when the switches are used.
Figure 40 - Network Address Example
Static Address Alternative
If the manual address configuration of 192.168.1.xxx is not acceptable, a static
address can be configured using the embedded web page. First configure the
switches to a valid address to access the web page. Using a common web browser
enter the address 192.168.1._ _ _ (switches). From the Administrative Settings
window select Network Configuration. Change the Ethernet Interface
Configuration to “Static” and enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway and apply. Change the ArmorStart LT address switches to 999. The unit
will now accept the new IP address. To access the web page you will need to use
the new address in the web browser.
The switch value of 888 allows the user to reset to factory default configuration
including configuration parameters. This setting is useful in situations where the
user wishes to decommission a module or when the user wishes to commission a
previously-used module that has an unknown configuration. When the switches
are set to 888, upon the next power cycle the ArmorStart LT will return to
factory default settings and cease all communications. The Module Status LED
shall transition to blinking red and the Network Status LED shall transition
to OFF.
After reset, the user will then need to change the IP address to a valid setting and
power cycle. The purpose of this is to prevent the user from resetting the module
and then never changing the switch setting from 888.
ATTENTION: To avoid unintended operation, the ArmorStart LT
must be assigned a fixed IP address. If a DHCP server is used, it must
be configured to assign a fixed IP address for ArmorStart LT.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in unintended machine
motion or loss of process control.
IMPORTANT
Setting the IP address to “888” followed by a power cycle will reset the device
to its factory default configuration. To resume network communication the
address
MUST be set to DHCP or a valid IP address and power cycled again.
