Connecting IR2 to an existing network
All computers running Windows assumes the existence of a router/hub and is
pre-configured to obtain an IP address automatically. So, unless you have changed
this setting or you followed the instructions above for a direct connection, this setup
process is fairly straightforward.
Step 1: Connecting the devices
Using a patch cable (sold separately), connect the PC and the Control Box to an
appropriate Router/hub. If you are using a high speed wireless card, follow the
manufacturer’s installation procedures to get everything connected and tested
properly.
Patch cables should be as short as possible, but can be up to 200’ if required and can
be purchased from any computer supply store.
Cautions
:
• PC network installations can be significantly more complicated. Make sure to verify
that the network is properly setup and running, and that a qualified network administrator
is on-board. Other than limited phone support, Nobeltec is not able to provide support on
Network installation or operation.
• Wireless networks function with limited bandwidth and are susceptible to RF
interference. Please check with Nobeltec for tested network components.
Step 2: Configure your PC to talk to the router/hub
Important Note
: If you already have a network running and the PC with
Nobeltec Navigation Software is currently operating on this network, you can
skip this step and go straight to the section titled “Using the Radar Setup
Wizard.”
As mentioned above, Windows is normally set up to obtain its IP address automati-
cally. However, if you followed the Direct Connect instructions above, you’ll need to
reset this functionality by essentially reversing what we did above.
1. Open the
Windows Control
Panel. This is typically accomplished by clicking on the
Start
button, then on
Control Panel
. Older versions of Windows may require that you
select
Start
>
Settings
>
Control Panel
.
