Establishing initial communication with the unit
The factory settings for the IP address and subnet mask are
192.168.100.100
and
0.0.0.0
respectively.
Communication between the device and the client PC is only possible if both the
client PC and the device are located in the same network segment. There are two
possible methods of achieving this:
z
Changing the IP address of the client PC.
See Section 9.1.1 Changing the IP address of the client PC.
z
Mapping a network route.
See Section 9.1.2 Mapping a network route.
The service mode can be used to establish communication with the device if it is
no longer configured to use the factory-set IP address and the current IP address
is not known. See Section 11 Maintenance.
