Connecting to a Rapid Eye Unit
Step 2: Match a Unit Gateway to the Internet Router Inside IP
Change the IP Address of a unit onsite, using LocalView. Set the IP gateway on the Rapid
Eye unit to the inside IP of an internet router. Use the View software to see a Rapid Eye unit’s
IP remotely by running a
Maintenance Session and clicking the System tab.
Figure 3-8 Unit IP for Network Connection Using NAT
Note Do not change a unit IP address or IP gateway while operating a unit
connected using NAT; this locks out remote operators using that network
connection to the unit until the change is mapped in the internet router.
Direct Connection to a Standalone PC
A standalone PC—running Admin and View software—is connected to one unit, by using
a network crossover cable.
Figure 3-9 Using a Direct Connection to Operate a Multi-Media Unit
1. Using Microsoft Windows, set the IP Address on the PC’s network card to an address
on the same subnet as the Rapid Eye unit (as shown in
Table 3-2 ). To change a PC’s
IP address, see your Microsoft Windows documentation.
2. Using the Admin software, add a connection as for a Common Network ( page 43 ).
