14.5 UNIGATE
®
-SCAN-function
The Gateway has the support of the UNIGATE
®
-SCAN-tool integrated. Which means that by
default a channel is established in the Fast Ethernet that procresses these scan requests. Thus,
a channel is already activ immediately after switching on.
UNIGATEscan.exe is a program with which you can find Deutschmann Ethernet devices in a net-
work and set an IP address.
The devices can be in the configuration mode as well as in the data exchange mode (Note: the 4.
communication channel must not be occupied) and have to be connected to the Ethernet net-
work.
The program is started. After initialization, the program displays a selection box with the name
"Adapter IP", that shows the Ethernet network adapter, located on the computer, with the base
addresses of the respective network.
For the scan mode you first select the desired adapter. Subsequently a search process is
initiated by pressing the scan button. The big window of the UNIGATE
®
-Scan displays the
UNIGATE
®
devices found in the network with MAC address, IP address, type and software revi-
sion.
From the list of displayed UNIGATE
®
devices you now select the device that you want to confi-
gure with a new IP address. With the flash function you can make sure wether you have selected
the desired UNIGATE
®
. After pressing the flash button the bus Power/State LED on the selected
UNIGATE
®
device flashes red for 5 seconds. (Note: the flash function is only available in the data
exchange mode.)
Via the Set-IP-button, and if the correct UNIGATE
®
device is selected, you can configure the
device with the address shown in the "IP-address" window.
Here, the IP address is stored in the volatile memory and is immediately available. After a reboot
(Power Off/On) the old IP address from the EPROM is active again.
If you want to permanently save the address in the UNIGATE
®
you have to check the field
"set_perm". Here, the IP address is only acive after a restart. If the UNIGATE
®
is in Run mode
and the default script "Universalscript Deutschmann EL" is loaded, the UNIGATE
®
automatically
restarts. (It may take up to 10 seconds)
After turning the UNIGATE
®
off and then back on again, it can be checked with another scan,
whether the new address has been transferred correctly.
IOn delivery or after a "Reset Device" with WINGATE, the IP address 0.0.0.0
is stored in EPROM. Since 0.0.0.0 is not allowed the UNIGATE announces
the address „169.254.25.138“ in the SCAN-Tool. (xx.yy = the last two digits
of the MAC Addresse)
