Configuring the LAN Interface of the Operating PC
There are two ways of configuring the Serial Hub on a PC/laptop using the configuration
tool via its Ethernet interface:
Direct PC <–> Serial Hub LAN connection with "cross-over patch cable"
The Serial Hub is connected directly to the operating PC/laptop using a cross-over patch
cable. The LAN interface of the computer must be assigned a fixed IP address for this
purpose.
Note:
If the computer is operated in a company LAN, a variable IP address is usually
assigned by the server (see next section). If the Serial Hub is to be configured directly via
the cross-over cable with this computer, a fixed IP address must be assigned to this
computer for this time.
Select the appropriate "
Local area connection
" under "
Network connections
".
In the "Local area connection status" window,
click the
"Properties"
button to switch to the local area connection
settings.
