C.
Press the select button again to see the IP address menu:
[IP Address]
192.168.40.50
D.
At this point, the cursor on the display will be blinking on the first number in the IP address on the second
line.
E.
To change the number, press the menu (top) button and the display will cycle through the digits 0-9 as well
as “.”. Once the correct digit is displayed, press the select (lower) button to advance to the next digit and
repeat the process until all the digits are correct.
F
. Once the IP address on the AcquiSuite matches the assigned IP address, press the select (bottom) button
once more to return to the main TCP/IP menu.
Step 3 -
Set the netmask, gateway, and DNS server(s) addresses as noted in the chart "Network Address Worksheet" using
the same technique as shown above. The only change is that after Step B, press the menu (top) button multiple times to see
the netmask, gateway, and dns setup menu, then push the select button to set the option.
Note: If DHCP configuration is selected, the IP, netmask, gateway, and dns server addresses will be obtained automatically.
Simply select the “Enable DHCP” from the first TCP/IP configuration menu.
Step 4 -
After the address information has been set, you must reboot the AcquiSuite. Select the "(Previous Menu)" option
after step B above. The menu will then state that the AcquiSuite must be rebooted to take effect. Press 'select' to allow the
AcquiSuite to reboot.
Once the AcquiSuite has rebooted, the new IP address will be displayed on the console. If DHCP addressing was specified,
the server assigned address will be displayed.
Note: if DHCP is unable to obtain an ip address, the AcquiSuite will use the fallback address of 192.168.0.100.
Laptop/Computer Setup
Step 1
- You must have a computer to access and configure the AcquiSuite. This computer must have an ethernet connection
(on the LAN or by direct connection) and must have a web browser installed such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
Note: If your building already has an existing LAN that the AcquiSuite is attached to, you can use an existing computer on
that LAN. Check with your network administrator for details. If this option is available, use a LAN connected computer and
skip to the “AcquiSuite administration overview” section below.
The remainder of this section will assume the installer has brought a laptop to the site, and will connect the laptop to the
building LAN, or directly to the AcquiSuite. Attach the laptop to the AcquiSuite or LAN as shown in figure 6, Ethernet
hookup.
Step 2
- Attach the Laptop to the AcquiSuite or to the LAN. The A8810 will automatically detect whether a direct or
crossover cable is required, and will reverse polarity accordingly. This feature will allow you to use either a straight ethernet
cable or a crossover ethernet cable interchangeably.
