CONNECTING TO COMMUNICATION MODULE SETUP PAGE
This chapter describes how to connect to the communication module’s setup page once it has been
connected to a network. This also assumes that the user’s PC is connected to the same local network.
The communication module’s setup page can be accessed anytime, even while the GEM is reporting
data to a host.
When the GEM is already connected to a network it may be desired to access the communication
module’s setup page to perform one of the following tasks:
1.
Set the IP address and port of the remote host which will receive the GEM’s packets
2.
Connect to a different network or make changes to the current network settings
3.
Change the “baud rate” manually in situation where the GEM’s baud differs from that of the
WiFi/Ethernet module and cannot automatically recover from the mismatch. (The latest GEM
firmware version should recover from this situation automatically)

If the GEM’s IP address is known, simply open the browser and enter the IP address in the browser’s
address bar. (Figure 24)
The GEM Network Utility has provisions to automatically open the communication setup page and
browser. This is done by highlighting the IP address that was found, right clicking it, then selecting “Open
Communication Setup”. See Figure 23 and Figure 24
