Ethernet Connection
Browser Based System Programming can be carried out from a PC connected to
the Ethernet port on the system.
Connecting to the Ethernet Port -
The Ethernet port on the system is an RJ45 socket. Two different types of cable
are used to connect to this port -
•
An Ethernet cable if connecting to a company LAN or Hub. Connect one
end of the Ethernet cable to the ethernet port on the system MDF board
and the other to the Hub.
Note
: Most Hubs have a LED at each Ethernet port. If the LED lights, it is a good
indication that the cable has been connected correctly. If not, try another port
and/or check the cable is not damaged.
•
A crossover cable if connecting to a single PC. Connect one side of the
crossover cable to the ethernet port on the system MDF board and the
other side to the Ethernet network interface card installed in the computer.
Note:
When installing an Ethernet Network card, make sure the driver software
indicates that the device is functioning properly.
IP Configuration -
In order for the connected computer(s) and the system to communicate, there
must be an IP connection established between them. For the connection to be
established, the PCs and the system must have IP addresses within the same
range.
The IP configuration of the system can be viewed and changed from a system
phone logged in to System Maintenance. (See section 3).
Note:
The IP configuration of the system can also be viewed and changed from
Browser Based Programming once an IP connection has been established
between the PC and the system.
The default IP configuration of the system is - IP Address:
192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
HTTP Port:
80
Note:
Each system has a unique MAC address
that can also be viewed from
System Maintenance.
In order to give the PC and the system an IP address in the same range, either the
IP address of the system or the PC can be changed.
Change the IP address of the system to be within the same range as the IP
address of the PC, e.g. if the IP address of the PC is 192.0.0.31, from system
maintenance change the IP address of the system to 192.0.0.120
