3.3 IP settings for several network cards
To connect to a
'Station' via the FS720 network or directly to the 'Station', you
can use an additional network card on the PC, for example, a 'USB to Ethernet
adapter'.
If you use more than one network card on the PC and all are set for DHCP, you
must observe the following points:
●
Once the data has loaded from the PC to a 'Station', the standard gateway for
the Intranet/Internet can be overwritten when initializing a 'Station' or
disconnecting a connection to a 'Station'.
●
You can specify the IP settings for the connection to the FS720 network
manually.
●
For manually specified IP settings for the FS720 network, there is no conflict
with a DHCP server in the FS720 network.
Manually specifying IP settings
1. Change the IP settings for the network card with which you are establishing the
connection to the FS720 network from DHCP to manual.
2. Enter one of the following IP addresses.
– For direct connection to the 'Station': 192.168.200.5 / 255.255.255.0
– For access via the FS720 network: 192.168.201.5
a
IP settings are manually specified.
a
Network settings for the Intranet/Internet are not overwritten.
If you have manually specified the IP settings for the FS720 network, you must
also change the manually specified network settings when changing the
connection between a direct connection to the 'Station' and access via FS720
network.
