4.2 Connecting Through Ethernet using a Windows Computer
Most of the Ethernet configuration is performed via the Ethernet Axia F/T’s web pages. To initially access
the web pages, configure the sensor to work on the network by assigning an IP address and provide basic
information about the network.
For purposes of this initial connection, the computer should be connected directly to the sensor and
disconnected from the LAN. Temporarily the computer is assigned a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.100. The
Ethernet cable to the sensor is disconnected from the computer during this step.
NOTICE:
If the computer has multiple connections to Ethernet, such as a LAN connection and
a wireless connection, be sure to select the LAN that will be connected to the Ethernet Axia
sensor.
1. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the computer.
2.
Open the computer’s Internet Protocol (TCP IP) Properties window.
