3.3.4.3 Assigning IP Properties (CmIPUtil)
To operate the UCI on an instrument LAN, an IP address, and subnet mask must be
assigned, by using the CM IP Utility program.
Observe the following:
• Parameters can be programmed and changed only if no data is being transferred between
the UCI and the Chromeleon server. To stop the Chromeleon server, click Start →
Programs → Chromeleon → Server Monitor .
• Configuration is possible only if the computer on which CmIPUtil is running is
connected to the same subnet as is the UCI for which you want to assign IP properties.
• With CM IP Utility, only UCI modules with firmware version 2.0 or later (LAN support)
can be configured.
Tip: If you want to use the network capabilities of a UCI with a firmware
version < 2.0, first download the most recent firmware to the module
( → page 43). This is possible only by using the USB connection.
Afterward, configure the module as described further down in this section.
• Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is available on the computer.
1. Copy the CmIPUtil program from the Chromeleon CD into a separate directory on
your computer if it is not yet already there.
2. Double-click Setup.exe and follow the installation instructions on the screen.
3. Open the program by clicking Start → Programs → Chromeleon → IP Utility →
CmIPUtil
.
The Module Information window of the dialog box lists all modules that are active on
the network, together with their IP address, serial number (S/N), server name (that is the
name or IP address of that server with which data are currently exchanged), gateway
address, subnet mask, and Ethernet address. The IP address for modules that have not yet
been configured is 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 ( → Fig. 9, page 22).
