5 Commissioning
This chapter describes, using the example of Windows XP, the commissioning of the Fieldgate. The
commissioning with other Windows operating systems differs only in detail, but if you are not sure
how to proceed, we recommend that you consult your network administrator.
Before you start the commissioning:
• Check that you have administrator rights for your computer
• Check that the Fieldgate is correctly wired and powered up
We recommend that the Fieldgate is always commissioned via the service interface.
The chapter is structured as follows:
• Chapter 5.1 describes the steps necessary to establish connection via the service interface.
• Chapters 5.2 to 5.4 describe the individual steps required to set up communication with the
Ethernet, Modem and GSM versions of the Fieldgate respectively.
• Chapter 5.5. describes the setup of other communication facilities such as e-mails etc.
NOTE!
• It is also possible to configure the Ethernet version of the Fieldgate via an Ethernet, but this entails
changing the IP address of your computer, since the default IP address of the Fieldgate
(IP = 192.168.252.1, Subnet = 255.255.255.0) will normally be in a different domain,
see chap. 12.1.1.
