Remote Interfaces
13.1 LAN Interface
The LAN connection to the DAS240 supports ModBus, VNC, Sefram Viewer and DAS Lab. Sefram Viewer and
DAS Lab are tools provided by B&K/Sefram, and are available as a single download from
http://www.sefram.com/en/
. The LAN connection supports 10mBit and 100mBit networks. In the case
where a network is not available, using a crossover cable is also possible.
13.1.1 LAN setup
Setup of the LAN interface is available by clicking the “Network” button on the “Home” screen. (See
Figure
). Clicking the “Network” button opens the network setup dialog (See Figure
). The LAN interface
supports static and dynamic (DHCP) configuration. For DHCP, the DHCP checkbox is marked, and the network
address will be shown on the “Network” button shown on the “Home” screen. For static IP configuration, using
parameters defined for the network (see your local network administrator for details) are set in the dialog.

13.2 VNC
Use of the unit from another computer is available using VNC (Virtual Network Computing). This presents an
interactive view of the front panel allowing nearly all functions to be used remotely. Numerous software tools are
available for using VNC (ex. UltraVNC).
To open a connection, the IP address of the unit is required. This is found on the “Network” button on the
“Setup” screen.
13.2.1 Changing the password
Open the “Setup” screen and press the “VNC” button. The resulting dialog box shows the current password.
Press the keyboard icon in order to change the password.
