Getting Started
4.1
Introduction
This chapter will help the user power up and communicate with their SOL8SDR product. It will explain
installation instructions for any relevant applications.
4.2
Initial Connections
Once you have unpacked your SOL8SDR, you will need to provide 12VDC power and connect to a PC or
Network using Ethernet for control.
There is no power switch on a SOL8SDR, as soon as the power supply is switched on, your device will boot
up.
4.3
Access the USB Stick
The USB support stick contents will provide you with all the user guides and applications needed to operate
a SOL8SDR.
Plug the USB stick into the USB port of your PC.
The USB stick device drivers will load the first time you plug it in to your PC. Wait for the drivers to load
successfully, you should see the progress in the bottom right of your PC screen.
Once they have loaded, a USB drive will have been created. Open Windows Explorer and you will be able
to view the USB stick contents.
4.4
Using Node Finder
Our devices are shipped to you with the IP DHCP setting enabled. This means that if your SOL8SDR is
connected to a network which is administered by a DHCP server, the IP address will be automatically
allocated to it.
Node Finder
can be used to identify a device IP address, or disable DHCP if you are not connected through a
DHCP server or using a standalone PC or laptop.
If you are unsure about your server settings, check with your Network Administrator.
Note
: If you are using a standalone PC or laptop, you will also need to set the IP address of the PC. Refer to
section 5.1
If the DTC device is connected to a network which does
not
have a DHCP server, contact your Network
Administrator for an IP address you can use.
