Step 3.2: Adjust network settings
Figure 3.4: Adjusting the network settings.
The network settings can be modified via the web-interface (Fig. 3.4). It is advised to use
the default setting, to automatically obtain the network settings from a DHCP server, and
assure from the side of the DHCP server that the system will receive the same IP-address
at all times. This setting provides the easiest setup and ensures the correct settings for the
local network.
Note
To ensure an accurate system time, the WaveGuide system is by default configured to use
an NTP time service. For this service to work, a connection to the Internet is necessary.
Note
Configuring the use of a static IP could disable the NTP service when the system is not
able to reach any nameserver. The user interface allows to manually add or remove
nameserver addresses.
Step 3.3: Sensor configuration
The WaveGuide Height & Tide is designed with a high level of flexibility in mind, to apply
to every possible mounting situation. The sensor menu allows the configuration of those
parameters that are specific to the sensor installation. The mounting height above the
reference water level, and possibly a number of other parameters, needs to be set for each
specific mounting location. This can be done in the configuration table that is shown in
Fig. 3.5.
