Problems While Configuring the Ethernet Network
You can configure the Ethernet network on the terminal by scanning configuration
commands. If you receive an error beep sequence (three low beeps) while configuring
the terminal, check these possible problems and solutions.
Problem
Solution
The terminal IP address or the
controller/host IP address is set to
0.x.x.x or 127.x.x.x. These are
invalid addresses.
Set a valid IP address for the terminal and DCS 300 or host.
For help, see “Using Ethernet Communications on the Terminal” in Chapter 4.
If you cannot fix the addressing problem, check with your network
administrator to get the IP address assigned to the terminal and the DCS 300
or host.
The terminal IP address and the
default router address are both set to
the same address.
You need to change the terminal IP address and/or the default router address.
Set a valid IP address for the terminal and the default router.
For help, see “Using Ethernet Communications on the Terminal” in Chapter 4.
If you cannot fix the addressing problem, check with your network
administrator to get the IP addresses for each network device.
The terminal IP address and the
controller/host IP address are both
set to the same address.
Set a valid IP address for the terminal and DCS 300 or host.
For help, see “Using Ethernet Communications on the Terminal” in Chapter 4.
If you cannot fix the addressing problem, check with your network
administrator to get the IP address assigned to the terminal and the DCS 300
or host.
The terminal and DCS 300 or host
(TCP/IP network) are on different
networks, and the terminal is not on
the same network as the default
router.
When the terminal is on a different IP subnetwork from the DCS 300 or host,
you must set the Default Router and Subnet Mask commands. Set a valid IP
address for terminal, DCS 300 or host, and default router.
For help, see “Using Ethernet Communications on the Terminal” in Chapter 4.
If you cannot fix the addressing problem, check with your network
administrator to get the IP addresses for each network device.
On the 2461, you scan a
configuration command to set one of
these parameters and hear three low
beeps:
•
Controller IP Address
or Host IP Address (TCP/IP)
•
Terminal IP Address
•
Default Router
•
Network Activate
If the Network Activate command is enabled (Ethernet network enabled) and
you are configuring the 2461, these addresses must define a valid network
configuration. For example, an invalid network configuration would be a
controller (or host) IP address set to 0.0.0.0 with the network enabled.
To set these four parameters, follow these steps:
1. Disable the Network Activate (NA) configuration command.
2. Set the terminal IP address and the controller IP address (or the host IP
address for a TCP/IP network).
3. Set the default router address (if necessary).
4. Enable the Network Activate command.
You can change an IP address with the network enabled as long as it still
defines a valid network configuration.
