Note:
When moving the
motion sensor to another device or network with a different IP address or
range, ensure
Reset IP1
has been selected to clear the target IP address stored in the motion sensor.
Otherwise the motion sensor will continue to unicast to the Target IP address or broadcast to the
different range and no other device will be able to connect to the motion sensor via Ethernet.
However, if this step is overlooked, the serial connection can be used to restore communication with
the IMU and clear the stored target IP address.

NETWORK SCAN
Available from firmware 3.24
The network scan feature will assist to find SMC ethernet connected Motion Sensors on the network.
The feature is found in the Set PC Communication.
Click on the Network scan button and popup window shown below will open where the found
motion sensors on the network are displayed and can be selected. If no data is being received from
the motion sensor after it has been selected from the network scan window, ensure that the motion
sensor is broadcasting or does unicast to the PC that runs the network scan, otherwise no
communication with the motion sensor will be established.
