Once connected to the PC, either via a LAN or directly, the Ethernet bridge may then be set up or the
web pages accessed.
12.2.1 Local Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet bridge default I/P address is:
10.200.1.1
.
For local Ethernet connection, consult your network administrator. The LAN administrator will control
the rules and permissions used on your site. The connection of any device is generally only permitted
if these rules are met.
12.2.2 Direct Ethernet Connection to a PC
An Ethernet cross over cable is required to directly connect the master station PS600 module to a PC
Ethernet port without using a LAN. It is also required to set the PC’s TCP/IP connection properties to a
Static Address instead of allowing the PC to ‘Obtain an IP Address Automatically’.
Set PC connection properties to
Static IP Address
