Problems with firewalls
After connecting the power supply and the network cable, the Enertex® EibPC is operational in about
2-3 minutes and responds to network requests. For the installation and the status indicator (built-in
LED) see also page 17 and the following
You have the option to assign the Enertex
®
EibPC to a fixed IP address within your home network or
to work with a DHCP server. When delivered, the Enertex
®
EibPC is set to DHCP. If the Enertex
®
EibPC finds a DHCP server, it assigns itself to a free IP address. For this, the Enertex
®
EibPC must
be connected with a cross-over cable to a PC.
If the firewall is appropriately set up, you can query the IP address in the menu O
PTIONS
→ N
ETWORK
SETTINGS
as shown in Figure 5 by clicking the push button “Automatic“. Now, in the window
“messages“, you will see the response of Enertex
®
EibPC. Then, you can set up the Enertex
®
EibPC
with a fixed IP address (see below).
Important: An active firewall avoids the communication between the Enertex
®
EibStudio and
the Enertex
®
EibPC and has to be configured accordingly. For details see the instructions of
your firewall.
Activate the communication port 4805 and 4806 for UDP telegrams in your firewall. If
you want to send UDP telegrams (see page 235), you have to open the port 4807 additionally.
Alternative: For example, in a Windows
®
firewall you can also directly establish an exception for the
program nconf.exe (part program of the Enertex
®
EibStudio). For this, the Enertex
®
EibStudio has to
be started at least once. After calling Enertex
®
EibStudio, you can find nconf.exe within your
Windows
®
user directory, as shown in Figure 4. To configure this, select within the dialog “Program
exceptions“ of the firewall- sub-dialog “Add program“ - (here) search and set your path corresponding
to “C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME\bin\eib\nconf.exe“. Alternatively, activate the
communication port 4805 and 4806 for UDP telegrams in your firewall. If you want to send UDP
telegrams, you must also open the communication port 4807.
