Appendix C: TCP/IP Bridge
The SOLA II Flare Modbus TCP/IP option is a microprocessor-driven board
that provides a bridge between the SOLA II Flare standard serial Modbus and a
TCP/IP Modbus network using 10/100 Base-T. This function is provided by
the NetBurner™.

Software
Configuration
As shipped, the Bridge defaults to an IP address of 00.00.00.00. At power- up
(with an IP address of 00.00.00.00), the Bridge attempts to negotiate an IP
through a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not available or if it is desired to
assign the instrument a static IP, use the provided utility program to set up the
IP address. Perform the following steps to search for the Bridge on the network
and assign an IP address.
1. Locate the IPSetup.exe utility that is included with the disk that ships
with the TCP/IP Bridge option.
