The method used to communicate with the SLM 250 is through an Ethernet connection with a
PC/laptop. The correct Ethernet parameters need to be established, namely IP (“Internet Protocol”)
address and subnet mask.
Notes:
•
These instructions assume a Microsoft Windows 7 operating system. The SLM 250 software
application is also compatible with Windows 8 and 10.
•
Further information can be found in the Quick-start Guide which is part of the supplied software
(see section 9, “SLM 250 software”).
Each SLM 250 is delivered with a pre-set IP address, typically 128.2.0.201, which can be found on
a label on the base of the instrument.
For first-time installation, communication needs to be correctly established between the PC/laptop
and SLM 250. This requires the PC/laptop to have an IP address on the same subnet as the
SLM 250.
To enter the IP address and subnet values, follow these steps.
