Setting the communication parameters
With the communication parameters, you determine how data is exchanged between
MA 208
i
and host system, monitor PCs etc.
The communication parameters are
independent
of the topology in which the MA 208
i
is
operated (see "Ethernet" on page 18).
On delivery from firmware 1.1.0.0, automatic address assignment is deactivated via DHCP
and a permanent IP address is set:
Device address:
192.168.61.100.
Net mask:
255.255.255.0
The setting can be adapted via Leuze configuration software BCL-Config, BPS-Config or
RF-Config. In these tools, the MA 208
i
has been created as a device to enable setting of
parameters in the usual way via the service interface.

Manually setting the IP address
If the IP address of the devices should be permanently set on your system, proceed as
follows:
Have the network administrator specify the data for IP address, net mask and gateway
address of the MA 208
i
.
Select the connected device via the device selection switch.
Apply the supply v18 … 30 V DC (typ. +24 V DC); the MA 208
i
starts up.
Now switch the service switch to "MA".
Notice!
The service switch must be in switch position "MA" here so that the MA 208
i
can be
addressed via the service interface.
Connect the serial RS 232 Sub-D interface of the MA 208
i
to the serial interface of your
PC.
Make the necessary settings in the configuration window.
