SyncSystem 4380A O&M Manual
2.2 Application Start Up
Once the application has started, the front panel display will display a dash in the center of each segment.
As the application loads the segments will move to the bottom, blank, top, then center until the system has
been able to set the date and time. Refer to the Software Users Guide for more information.
2.3 Communicating with the 4380A
Operators are capable of communicating with the system through a LAN connection or via one of the USB
Ports when using 94000-115200 USB to Serial cable to access the command port.
2.3.1 DHCP
The 4380A runs DHCP by default and will therefore automatically be assigned an IP address if it is
connected to a network with a DHCP server. The 4380A will display the current IP address assigned to the
unit in the Date/Time display after pressing and releasing the Display pushbutton on the front panel. Users
can use this IP Address to access the systems command port.
Note:
If the LAN Cable is not connected or the unit does not obtain an IP Address from a DHCP Server,
an IP Address is not assigned and the front panel display button will not display an IP address for the
system. Once the LAN cable is connected to the unit, it will automatically attempt to obtain an IP address
from a DHCP Server. If this does not work you may need to power cycle the unit.
2.3.2 Static IP Addresses
If you require a Static IP Address there are two options to set the network parameters in the system.
2.3.2.1
Network
If the network has a DCHP Server you can obtain the IP Address (
ip addr
) by pressing and releasing the
Display pushbutton on the front panel. Telnet into the system using “telnet
ip addr
1700”. Once the
“4380A>” prompt is displayed run the
network_config
command to manually configure the IP address for
the unit. See Section (2.2.3).
If the network does not have a DHCP Server, press and hold the front panel display pushbutton for ~10
seconds until the display shows the IP Address of 192.168.0.1. This temporarily sets the IP Address of the
unit. Telnet into the system using “telnet
192.168.0.1
1700”. Once the “4380A>” prompt is displayed use
the
network_config
command to manually configure the IP address for the unit. (See section 2.3.3).
Note:
If the LAN Cable is removed and reconnected the unit will attempt to obtain an IP Address from the
DHCP Server. If the default static IP Address (192.168.0.1) was set it may get reset. Press the Display
Button on the front panel again to make sure the IP Address is still set. If not, press and hold the button
until the default static IP Address is set again.
2.3.2.2
Console Cable
This feature allows local users to set the unit up without having to access the system via the network.
Connect a terminal to one of the USB ports on the rear panel using the USB to Serial adapter cable (94000-
115200). Changes can be made using any terminal program (e.g., HyperTerm, TeraTerm) from the serial
port of a computer/terminal. The communication settings are 115200 Baud, No Parity, 8 Data Bits, and 1
Stop Bit. Once connectivity is established, the user will see the 4380A> command prompt. Execute the
network_config
command to set the IP Address, Netmask, Broadcast IP, and/or Default Gateway for the
system if you are using a static IP Address. See Section (2.3.3).
Note:
We recommend that the USB-to-Serial Adapter (94000-115200) is installed in one of the two USB
ports when the system is powered on. If not, you may need to power the system down, plug the cable in
and re-apply power. The USB/Serial Cables are programmed to provide users access to the command port
