The CMC test set can either be set to static IP addresses or use DHCP
(
D ynamic H ost C onfiguration P rotocol) and AutoIP/APIPA ( A utomatic
P rivate IP A ddressing).
Additionally, there is a special DHCP server integrated in the CMC test set
to serve IP addresses only for that computer the OMICRON
Test Universe
software is running on. Note that this will only take place when there is no
DHCP server in the network. If there is DHCP server in the network, the
DHCP feature of the CMC test set remains inactive.
If the IP settings conflict with IP settings of other devices in the network, it is
possible to reset the test set to factory defaults (DHCP and AutoIP) by
pressing the
Associate button at the rear of the test set while powering up
the test set.
Security / Firewall Settings
To automatically detect and set the IP configuration of CMC test sets in the
network, IP-multicasting is used by the
Test Universe software. Therefore, a
firewall program has to be configured to allow for this communication. For
the Microsoft Windows Firewall in Windows XP SP2 (or later) the
configuration of the firewall is done automatically during installation of the
OMICRON
Test Universe .
The software component on the computer that automatically detects test
sets on the network (OMFind.exe) requires an enabled inbound connection
on port 4987 for UDP. For TCP communication, the software component on
the computer that controls the test sets (CMEngAl.exe) requires an enabled
outbound connection on port 2200.
More information about the Firewall configuration can be found in the FAQ
section of the
Get Support booklet (Technical Support for CMC Test Sets).
