Preparing for
Network
Installation
Equipment Required:
• Network enabled Personal Computer (IBM-compatible);
• REMOTE 3104P or 5104P;
Note:
The network
where the instruments will
operate must have an
available IP address for
each instrument. The IP
scheme, or subnet, must
match that of the PC that
will be used to retrieve the
data from the instruments.
Contact Lighthouse
Technical Support for
additional information.
Use either of the following:
• Small 5-port hub or switch and two 3-foot long straight-
through Cat5 Ethernet cables;
• Or one 3-foot cross-over Cat5 Ethernet cable.
Software Required:
Contact the network administrator if any of the following are not
installed or not functional:
• Windows 2000 or XP Professional
• Telnet
Note:
All values in
screen shots are examples
only. Use only the values
provided by the Network
Administrator.
Additional Requirements:
1. Contact the network administrator and obtain administrator rights
on the PC to be used for this procedure.
2. For each unit to be attached, obtain an unused static IP address,
Gateway IP address and the appropriate Netmask for the LAN in
which they will be installed.
3. Create a list and record the MAC address(es) for all REMOTE
x104Ps to be configured. It is suggested that the IP address that
will be used for each REMOTE x104P be written next to the
MAC address. This list can be provided to the network
administrator for future reference.
4. The PC being used to program the REMOTE x104P must be
using the same subnet that the adapter will use. See the network
administrator for assistance with this.
5. The PC that will monitor or retrieve data from the instrument(s)
must be using the same subnet and gateway programmed on the
REMOTE x104P(s) network interface.
