4.6.3. Ethernet configuration
using MRO software
1. Connect MRO to PC via USB or RS232.
2. Open MRO software. After connecting the MRO go to
“
Settings”
> “
Configure Network
”. The LAN Settings
window will pop-up:
On the left side of the Network Settings window, current
network settings for MRO will be displayed.
On the right side of the window network interfaces which
are available will be listed, usually, there’s only one available
interface. Furthermore, IP addresses will be suggested for
MRO network settings from the available interface.
3. Configure Ethernet settings for MRO:
3.1. Input Network (TCP) Server (your PC) IP address. (It
is filled automatically if only one network interface is
available)
3.2. Input Network client (MRO) IP address. Choose any,
but It has to be unique IP address in your local
network.
3.3. Input Router/Default Gateway address. (It is filled
automatically if only one network interface is available)
3.4. Input Subnet Mask address. (It is filled automatically
if only one network interface is available)
3.5. Input Network Port. By default it is 555, but you can
choose any up to 65535.
NOTE:
Default “Network port”: 555.
Configuration is complete.
4.6.4. Ethernet connection using
MRO software
1. Connect MRO controller via Ethernet cable (RJ45 plug).
2. Open MRO software.
3. Open “Ethernet Connection” and select your Network
(TCP) Server IP from the drop-down menu (usually it is
only one available address)
4. Input communication port (555 by default) and press
“Start Server”.
NOTE:
Port must be the same for both Network (TCP)
server and Network client (MRO).
5.
If everything is configured correctly your MRO
device should appear in the connected devices list
.
You will see MRO serial number and IP from which it
connected (if local network, IP should be the same as
configured). Select device you want to use and press
“Open”.
For further usage refer to section
“4.5 Using the
Software”.
After the TCP server is started it constantly waits only for
MRO devices.
NOTE:
If any other device or computer tries to connect to
the TCP Server, connection is refused.
