B. Communications

The

MWM

can be connected by

USB

or ethernet (

TCP/IP

). From the user and

device perspective the two are equivalent, but if possible, use a network
connection for improved response times and faster data acquisition.

B.1

TCP/IP

When ethernet is connected, the

MWM

will attempt to obtain an

IP

address

by

DHCP

. If

DHCP

fails, an internally defined address will be used. In both

cases, the address will be shown on the device display, something like:

10.1.1.180:7802

The dotted-quad number (10.1.1.180) is the device

IP

address; you can

type that into the address bar on your web browser and you will see a
simple webpage for the device (via the standard

http

port 80).

The second number (7802) is the

TCP/IP

port number. This port provides

full access to device functionality. It is through this port that your control
software should access the device. Simple commands can be sent to the
device using the

telnet

protocol, for example:

telnet 10.1.1.180 7802
disp,rgb,100,100,100

Here the

telnet

command line sepcifies IP address 10.1.1.180 and port

7802. You can also use a GUI

telnet

, in particular on Windows

TM

we

recommend

PuTTY

available at

www.putty.org

. Specify the

Host Name

as 10.1.1.180,

Connection type

as Telnet, and the

Port

which is normally

22, should be changed to 7802.

The above example sends the

disp,rgb

commmand to the device (to set

the display backlight intensity). The full suite of commands is described
in appendix D.
