Configuration
3.1 Basic ethernet configuration
The first step to be taken is the network parameters configuration by any of the following
methods:
a)
DHCP (AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION)
b)
Exemys Device Locator (Best recommended method)
c) Serial
Port
d) ARP
Method
a) IP address configuration with DHCP
The RME1-TC default configuration is IP 0.0.0.0, so when turned on, it will search a DHCP server.
RME1-TC tries to negotiate an IP address with the DHCP server for a maximum period of 10
seconds. If the DHCP fails to answer in that period, the RME1-TC will show an error code by
means of its indicator LEDs (See Table 4) and will try to establish connection with the DHCP
server 60 seconds later. This process will be repeated indefinitely until a DHCP server assigns an
IP address to RME1-TC or until the user assigns a static IP address.
a) IP address configuration with Exemys Device Locator (EDL)
The Exemys Device Locator Application Program is intended to be used for the basic
configuration of any Exemys device over your ethernet network. It allows searching, identifying
and configuring the basic network parameters.
This simple application program is distributed with any Exemys product in the accompanying CD.
You can also download the latest version of this program from the Exemys Web Site
(
).
The Device Locator application must be run from any PC within the network where the Exemys
devices to be configured are installed.
