18.3 ETHERNET PORT*
Ethernet
The Falcon 50 may communicate with one or more host computers on a local area
network via an ethernet connection (ethernet port available as an option). The
ethernet port operates at 10 or 100 megabits per second, carrying Internet
Protocol (IP) packets that conform to the UDP protocol.
The IP address that the Falcon 50 uses may be assigned manually by the user or
chosen by default. See the "Network Configuration" section. The Falcon 50
responds to "ping" requests on its assigned IP address.
WIRING CONSIDERATIONS
As always, quality CAT-5 cabling should be used. A CAT5 cable is used to
connect the network port on the back of the Falcon 50 to a port on a switch, hub or
router. It is also possible to connect the Falcon 50 directly to a host computer's
ethernet port using a crossover cable.
LAN connections are typically limited to 100 meters without a hub, router or
switch. Ethernet Extenders are available from vendors such computer stores.
These devices can extend Ethernet cabling distances to well over 1000 meters.
When connecting the Falcon 50 to a computer directly (i.e.with no infrastructure),
you must use a crossed CAT-5 cable as shown in Figure. When connecting a
Falcon 50 to an infrastructure (hub, switch, router...), use a straight-through cable.
When powering-up the processor, the Falcon 50 FM Network interface needs 30
seconds or more for complete auto-setup and inizialization.
During this period, no communication with the Pc through the Lan will be possible.
The network interface will be unavailabile for the same period (at least 30 seconds) also
when altering its IP address or connecting/disconnecting it from the mother board for
maintenance.
For Network Port configuration You will need to communicate with the processor via RS232 or
USB connection. The default IP Address (i.e factory default) of Falcon 50 FM network
interface (when installed) is 192.168.0.20, with Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0.
