Connecting LAN cable:
Use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. If
youconnect the data gateway to your computer’s Ethernet port instead, you don’t need to change to a cross-
over type cable since the data gateway provides auto cross-over feature.
4.
Connect the data gateway’s serial ports to your serial devices.
5.
Use the wall mounting Kit if you to place the data gateway on the wall.
Data Gateway Setup
Setting IP Address
Please consult your Network Administrator to determine the appropriate IP address. The IP address can be set in any of
the following ways:
•
Automatically from a DHCP Server
•
Web Browser
•
Ethernet managing utility (Em.exe supplied by this product)
The data gateway comes with factory installed IP address
192.168.1.254
. It is ready to accept a new IP address from a
DHCP Server. If your network has a DHCP server, it will automatically assign an IP address to the data gateway the first
time it is connected and powered up.
1.
Setting the IP address from a DHCP Server
A DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic address) as well as Subnet Mask and Gateway to this
product. If you power up the data gateway without
a fixed (static) IP address, the DHCP server will be able to assign an IP address (this is the default setting,
Enable
DHCP).
If you will set the IP address using another method, the address becomes static. This was done when you
Disable
the
DHCP setting in the Setup Menu of the data gateway.
2.
Setting the IP address using Web Browser
Run your browser and access the data gateway by entering the default (
192.168.1.254
) or current IP address into your
browser’s address window. Enter the password (default has no password). Then go to change your IP address as well
other parameters if required.
3.
Setting the IP address using Em.exe Utility
The Em.exe is a Microsoft Windows based utility to find all the data gateways connected on the same subnet and
network segment. To run the Em.exe utility, please insert the driver CD supplied with the data gateway. Open (double
click) the program at the following location (assume the CD-ROM drive is at E)
E:\Utility\82500\Em.exe
