5.3- TCP/IP parameters settings (Ethernet)
For configuring TCP/IP parameters it is possible to proceed in several ways, two of which are here below
described.
1- Through RS232 serial connection between the PC and MCP4/ETH
This is the preferred method because it does not depend on the configuration of the network where
MCP4/ETH has to be installed.
Connect the PC to the RS232 port of MCP4/ETH (if required via a USB-RS232 converter). Open the
configuration panel by selecting, from MCP Ide menu,
Communication
,
Enable Communication
and open the
communication with MCP4/ETH; then select
Advanced Options
: the following window will be shown:
The shown values are the default ones. Enter the desired parameters (IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway
and ports for the different sockets), then push the Write button. At this point MCP4/ETH will be visible on the
network with the set parameters, provided that they are compatible with the network configuration. The Read
button allows to report the MCP4/ETH current configuration and its MAC address.
2- Via LAN network and browser
MCP4/ETH has the factory settings as shown in the figure above, particularly IP address 192.168.1.252,
ports number 80 for all sockets, Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and Gateway 192.168.1.1.
If the network is already compatible with this set of parameters, it is possible to connect MCP4/ETH directly to
the local network (making sure that the default IP address is not already used by another device on the
network) and change these settings as desired using the “Contatto Web Server” integrated in MCP4/ETH.
The “Contatto Web Server” of MCP4/ETH can be accessed by using any browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer,
Google Chrome, etc.). Enter into the current IP address of MCP4/ETH in the bar address of the browser (the
default is 192.168.1.252) followed by /webmenu.htm, for example:
192.168.1.252/webmenu.htm
The main page of “Contatto Web Server” will be shown. Select
LAN Configuration
to access the sub-page of
TCP/IP parameters setting.
