4 Changing the Ethernet Adapter IP Address
Once Hydro-com is connected to an Ethernet Adapter, go to the “Diagnostics” tab, login then
click on the button “Settings” in the Ethernet Adapter frame
To fix the IP Address, click on “Use fixed IP Address” and enter the IP
Address in the box provided. It is recommended to leave the Port Number
and Gateway set to the defaults. Click “Set” and then after the progress bar
has completed and the new information has been written, click “Exit” to close
the dialog and go back to the main screen.
When a fixed IP Address has been assigned, it is recommended to write the
address on the front of the Ethernet Adapter in the space provided.
5 Remote (Internet) Connection
Sensors connected to an Ethernet Adapter can also be accessed remotely over the Internet. In
order to do this, it is necessary to open up a port in the Firewall of the network on which the
Ethernet Adapter is installed. Contact the Network Administrator for details of doing this. When
opening the Port, all incoming traffic to that port should be directed to the IP Address of the
Ethernet Adapter and port 10001. Make a note of the network’s IP Address on the Internet and
the number of the port opened up. The table below shows the settings used in this example:
Company Network Settings Ethernet Adapter Settings
IP Address Opened Port IP Address Port Number
123.456.78.901 7011 192.168.10.61 10001
