Carry out the following steps to use
PowerSuite via an Ethernet LAN connection:
1. Start the “ Eltek Valere Network
Utility ” program by opening the file
“EVIPSetup.exe”, which will display already
connected LAN devices. The Compack
controller will be displayed after connection
to the LAN.
2. Connect the Compack controller to
the LAN plugging one end of a standard
Ethernet cable (straight through Ethernet
cable) to the controller’s RJ -45 socket on its
top, and the other end to one of the LAN’s
available RJ- 45 sockets. See “Figure 8”,
page 16 . The controller automatically
obtains an IP address from the LAN server,
as the controller’s DHCP protocol is enabled
from factory.
