10.2 LAN network guidelines
10.2.1 Cables
Keep care with cables and connections.
The right cable has always to be used.
For the Eos-Gate operation UTP cat. 5 cables with RJ45 terminals have to be used, with cross-
over or direct internal wiring according to the connection type:
•
Eos-Gate to PC: cross-over cable
•
Eos-Gate to Ethernet Switch or Hub: direct cable
10.2.2 Addresses
When operating a LAN network, great care must be kept with IP addressing in the devices.
A simple guideline to operate with the pre-configured IP addresses in the Eos-Gate is the following:
IP network
Description
Values
Suggestions
Pre-configured
addresses in the
Eos-Gate
Port 1: 192.168.3.127
Port 2: 192.168.4.127
Change the IP address of the port 1
according to your policies. Maintain the IP
address of the port 2 to grant an easy
connection for future needs
Suggested LAN IP
set of address
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255,
class C (mask 255.255.255.0)
e.g. 192.168.3.x to be in the same network as Eos-Gate
default port 1 address
This set of addresses has to be changed
according to the network policies in use for
the installation
10.2.3 Ping
Ping is a useful utility software when debugging TCP/IP networks. The Eos-Gate allows a complete
set of TCP/IP checking features under the Tools menu, including the ping feature.
Ping may be used to test connectivity from different devices (e.g. the user’s PC) to the Eos-Gate;
for example, to check if the Eos-Gate is reachable from your PC, assuming that the Eos-Gate’s
port 1 is in use, the command:
PING 192.168.3.127
may be used from a COMMAND session of Windows®. For further details please refer to the
relevant documentation freely available on Internet.
