7.1
Special options for connecting to the device
Additional ways to connect with the device are presented below. For other special cases, please see the section on
LAN connection.
7.1.1
Devices and TCP/IP
It is absolutely necessary to carry out the instructions below in the sequence given. But first read through the whole
section in order to get a preview of the needed measures.
7.1.1.1
General preparations
An
SICAM Q80 7KG8080
device with TCP/IP supports a classic network interface (LAN).
For a device having a
LAN
-interface, the following parameters must be set appropriately:
IP-address
Subnet-mask
DNS-server-address (optional)
Domain (optional)
Router-address (optional)
If your network is equipped with a DHCP-Server, these data can be
accessed automatically by the device upon switch-on. Have your
network administrator make the necessary configuration of the
DHCP-server and the DNS-server. You can skip the rest of this
section, in that case, and proceed with "
".
Note
Notes for the Administrator:
We recommend using a fixed assignment of IP-addresses to the devices and to set an unlimited
lease-time. A device's host name cannot be changed. It is comprised of a prefix and the device
serial number, e.g. " SICAM_Q80_99030143".
For a device with a PPP-interface, it makes sense to set the following parameters:
local and remote IP-address
Baudrate and protocol of the serial interface to modem or cable
DNS-server address (optional)
user name and password (optional)
Scripts for connecting and disconnecting (optional)
If there is no DHCP-server, the necessary device settings must be made as described further below. Have your
administrator issue IP-addresses for your device units and make note of the address assignments. Have the
administrator enter the device units in the DNS-server if there is one. In this case, also make note of the DNS-server's
IP-address and the name of your network domain.
Find out which subnets the device units are to be operated in and make note of the corresponding subnet-masks. You
will also need the IP-addresses of any routers present which your device units are to use.
Once you have gathered all the above information, you can proceed with the next section.
