SYNRAD FH Series Flyer Operator’s Manual Version 3.4
Ethernet configuration
Ethernet configuration via peer-to-
peer Ethernet connection
FH Flyer marking heads are now pre-configured at the factory to a fixed address of 192.168.100.100. This
allows you to make a peer-to-peer Ethernet connection and eliminate the need for an isolated USB con-
nection in order to configure Flyer’s Ethernet network settings.
The procedure described below may require the assistance of your IT Department because your computer’s
Ethernet settings are determined by your facility’s computer network. This procedure requires a connec-
tion to a computer with a static IP address that is not connected to a local network. To setup Flyer for the
Ethernet using a peer-to-peer Ethernet connection, perform the steps in the following sections:
Set your computer’s static IP address
1
Disconnect the computer from your local network.
2
Turn off Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), if enabled, and create a static IP address for
your computer.
Note:
The exact steps may vary depending on your operating system.
a
From the Start menu, go to Settings and choose Network Connections.
b Double-click on the appropriate Local Area Network (LAN).
c
Locate the LAN’s Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties.
d Select “Use the following IP address:” and enter the following information:
IP
Address: 192.168.100.101
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
e Click
OK to submit the changes.
Connect to the Flyer marking head
1
Connect the Flyer head to your computer using an Ethernet crossover cable.
2
Power up the Flyer head and wait 30 seconds for the head to boot-up.
3
Open WinMark Pro and in the Devices menu, click Connect to Ethernet Flyer.
4
Enter Flyer’s default Ethernet IP address, 192.168.100.100, in the dialog box and click OK.
Configure Flyer’s Ethernet network parameters
1
On the Tools menu, select General Settings… , and then click the “Device” tab.
Note: We do not recommend using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Under the DHCP
scheme, Flyer’s IP address and DNS name will change each time the head is turned off for a time
period that exceeds the DHCP lease.
