In the delivered PC software select “Unit - Display/change unit settings/create new
unit”
- Select unit, select serial connection (COM, Baudrate, number of data bits, parity)
- Activate modem operation - Set up modem
- Set up dial selection, line number and telephone number for the selected unit.

7.5 Ethernet connection
(TCP/IP)
In principle, all devices equipped with an internal Ethernet interface can be integrated
into a PC network (TCP/IP Ethernet). The device(s) can be accessed by any of the
PCs in the network using PC software. It is not necessary to install driver software
(“COM redirection”) on the PC because the PC software has direct access to the
Ethernet.
The system parameters “IP address”, “Subnet mask” and “Gateway” are input directly
at the device.
Changes to the system parameters are not activated until the SETUP menu is closed
and the settings accepted. Only then will the device work with the new settings.
Hint:
It is not possible for several clients (PC) to communicate with a server (device) at the
same time. If a second client (PC) tries to establish a connection, he receives an error
message.
The following standards are supported:
10BaseT, 10 MBit/s
The devices function according to the 10BaseT standard with 10MBit/s. It is, however,
also possible to integrate the device into a 100BaseTx network via an auto-sensing
hub or switch. This kind of auto-sensing component sets itself automatically to the
transmission rates supported by the end device.
Operating location
The operating location of the device should be selected such that the
network-specific maximum permitted cable length of 100 metres is not exceeded.
Please ensure that all connections are inserted only when the end devices are
switched off.
Setup
Before a connection can be established via the PC network, the system parameters in
the device must be set.
Hint:
You can obtain the system parameters from your relevant network administrator.
The following system parameters must be set.
1. IP address
2. Subnet mask
3. Gateway
7. Serial interfaces/Modem
