Selecting an Appropriate IP Configuration
Selecting an appropriate IP configuration for your network can be difficult.
Setting an address that already exists may cause serious network problems.
Consult your network administrator for appropriate IP configuration settings.
Once you have identified an appropriate IP address, you can use the ping
command in the Windows
®
Command Prompt to make sure that the network
address is not currently in use. If the address is free at the moment you send
the
ping command, the result will be “Request timed out.” For more
information on using the ping command and the Command Prompt, see the
Windows Help (available under the Windows Start button).
Changing the IP Configuration
The HPG generator is designed for use in a BootP environment (that is, a
BootP server is running on the LAN), which will automatically set the unit IP
configuration. However, you can also reset the IP configuration settings in a
non-BootP environment. The following procedures provide instructions for
both situations.
To Change the IP Configuration With BootP:
1. Configure your BootP server to recognize the HPG generator MAC
address (located on a sticker on the back of the unit, close to the Ethernet
connector).
2. In the BootP server configuration, set an IP address for the HPG generator
that is appropriate for your network, and assign the MAC address of the
HPG generator to this IP address. (Consult your network administrator to
identify appropriate IP address settings.)
3. Connect the HPG generator to the network (this network should be routed
to the BootP server) using a standard, straight-through network cable.
4. Power the HPG generator on. In approximately 30 seconds, the HPG
generator will be visible to the BootP server and consequently your
network (at the address specified in step 2).
To Change the IP Configuration Without BootP:
If you are using the Modbus HPG generator in a non-BootP environment, you
need to change the IP configuration through the BootP server utility that was
included (on a CD-ROM) with the unit. For more information on using this
software, see the Online Help system available when you launch the software.
