PC Node Method
Connect a computer running iCANsoft to the iCAN network
using a Cooper Controls PC Node . Search the network and
load the EG2-NA into iCANsoft .
Open the EG2-NA device and select the Ethernet tab . Type
in the desired settings . Select OK or Apply to downoad the
changes to the EG2-NA .
To restore settings back to default, select the ‘Restore
Settings’ button . Select OK or Apply to download the
changes to the EG2-NA .
Ethernet Port Method
The EG2-NA is supplied from the factory without DHCP
enabled and with a factory default IP address assigned . In
order to communicate to the EG2-NA using the Ethernet
port, the PC being used must be configured on the same
subnet as the default IP address . For details of setting the
IP address of your computer consult information online
specific to your Operating System .
If the EG2-NA you are configuring is at the factory default
settings, the following settings are suggested when
assigning a static IP address to your computer:
●
●
IP Address: 192 .168 .0 .99
●
●
Subnet Mask: 255 .255 .255 .0
●
●
Gateway: 192 .168 .0 .1
Once you have configured your PC’s IP address, connect
the EG2-NA directly to the PC . It may be necessary to use
a crossover cable, however, most current computers are
able to connect directly to another Ethernet device using a
standard Ethernet cable .
iCANsoft will be used for the configuration process .
Open iCANsoft, then select from the Toolbar
Tools>Options>Network . Select the Ethernet Gateway
option and change the IP Address to 192 .168 .0 .100 . Ensure
that the ‘Use Password’ check box is ticked and the default
password Cooper123 is entered (case sensitive) .
Select OK to confirm .
Search the network and load the EG2-NA into iCANsoft .
Follow the steps outlined in the PC Node Method section to
configure the desired IP Address for the EG2-NA .
Once the IP Address settings have been applied, initialize
the new settings in the EG2-NA device by pressing
the reset button next to the Ethernet conneciton or by
disconnecting and reapplying power .
Once configuration is complete, if you will be using
iCANsoft through the ethernet connection, you
will need to update the IP Address in the Toolbar
Tools>Options>Network section to match the settings you
have assigned to the unit . This screen will also allow you to
re-select the option for PC Node to allow for direct PC Node
access for this database .
Reset to Factory Defaults
Factory defaults may be reset by the following procedure:
●
●
Remove power from the board .
●
●
Press the CAN ID button and reapply power . Keep the
button pressed until the CAN LED flashes then stays on .
At this point the Ethernet settings will have been restored
to defaults .
●
●
After setting to factory defaults, the IP address of the
device will revert to 192 .168 .0 .100
