A CAT5 crossover network cable or a Ethernet hub and standard network cables to connect the power
sensor and the computer.
The CD-ROM shipping with the sat-nms power sensor.
Setting the power sensor's IP parameters now is easily done within a few minutes.
1. First install a network cable between the power sensor and your computer. If you have a crossover
cable available, this is very easy: simply put the cable into the network connectors of computer and
power sensor. Without a crossover cable, you need to connect both, the computer and the power
sensor to the same network hub using two standard network cables. It is essential, that the computer
and the power sensor are connected to the same network segment, the configuration program is not
able to find the power sensor through routers or network switches.
2. Now power on your computer and connect the power sensor to the 24V DC supply.
3. Insert the CD-ROM into the computer's drive and inspect it's contents through the 'My Computer' icon
on your desktop. Double-click to the 'ChipTool.exe' program in the 'ChipTool' directory.
4. When the ChipTool program is running, type CTRL+F to make the program search the power sensor.
The program shows a list containing at least one entry describing the actual network parameters of the
power sensor.
5. The serial number shown in the first column of the list, must match the serial number printed on the
power sensor's enclosure. If the list stays empty, the power sensor is not connected properly. If there
are more entries in the list, the configuration program has found other devices in this network segment
which use the same technology.
6. Now type CTRL+I to open the IP configuration window of the program. In this form enter the power
sensor's serial number, it's new IP address and network mask. If the power sensor later shall be
