4.8.2 NETWORK CONFIGURATION
Mainframe, main panel and panel PC are network devices using TCP-IP protocol.
The devices are shipped with default cheapernet IP addresses; however, as more
resources are attached to the network, addresses must be changed.
Default address ranges for the devices:
IP Address (class C network)
192.168.0.1
up to
192.168.14.255
Attention:
The IP addresses of the individual devices working on the network must be
different. For mainframe and control panel, the setting can be undertaken di-
rectly on the controller board. The lowest address byte can be set in the
range from 1 to 254 with a Hex switch (0 and 255 are not allowed).
Control panel controller and sidepanel PC needs one address only. The
mainframe is using the selected address and the following two.
The IP address of the panel PC can be set with the Windows 95 tool “System
Control/Network” directly.
4.8.3 NETWORK EARTHING
The screen of the cheapernet network has to be earthed at one point to intercept
influences from outside. The network must be earthed only at one point even if the
network is extended further in order to create clear ground potential. Earthing is
made always at the mainframe. Instead of an usual 50 BNC terminator, a termina-
tor with earth screw is enclosed. The terminator has to be connected with the en-
closed earth wire to the PE terminal of the mainframe.
