Now the computer is on the same network as the sonar head. When starting the DT100_SIR program, the IP
address stored in the “DT100.INI” file is read and a connection will be established.
A loopback IP address can also be set in the DT100_SIR program ( Setup > IP Address: Output IP Address) . This
sets an internal IP address so that both the DT100_SIR program and any navigation package may be run on the
same computer. If used, this IP address should be set to 127.0.0.1. If not, it should be set to the static IP address
of the computer running the navigation software.
The sonar head should function correctly however if communication does not function properly, try the
suggestions listed in the troubleshooting guide below:
Disable any network bridges that are present
•
A network bridge allows a separate port, such as “USB”, or “Firewire” to piggyback the Ethernet connection.
•
Under “Network Connections”, if there is a network bridge icon, disable it.
Disable any other network devices that are present on the computer
•
Often, if there are multiple network cards present, Windows
™ may communicate through an incorrect one.
This is more of an issue on laptops with wireless connections.
•
Right-
click on each connection and select “
Disable
”.
Under “Network Connections”, right-click on the Ethernet card and select properties.
Clear unnecessary network protocols
•
De-select all services except for Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
