Configuration
General remarks
The FT636 IP Interface uses TCP/IP via Ethernet for transmitting radio communication and control
information. Be sure to note the occuring particularities. First the terms will be explained with an
easy example, then some more complex confi guration examples will be illustrated.
The easiest confi guration is that both involved IP Interfaces are installed in the same network seg-
ment of the local network. This means there is only a switch or a hub between both devices, there
is no routing (see confi guration example 1).
If the two IP Interfaces are the only devices in the network, the settings can be chosen freely. If this
is not the case then you have to make sure that no collisions with the confi gurations in the existing
infrastructure will occur.
IMPORTANT:
In each TCP/IP network each device is addressed with an individual IP-address.
Therefore each IP address can only be assigned once within a distinct network.
IP addresses in networks can be assigned automatically or manually. The FT636 IP Interface only
supports the manual assignment of IP addresses.
Because of that the manually assigned addresses in the network have to be identifi ed.
If the IP Interface is installed in a network which supports an automatic assignment of IP addres-
ses, the address pools reserved for the automatic assignment have to be identifi ed before setting
up the devices. The person responsible for the network should be able to provide this information.
If this is not the case so-called IP scanners (for example Free IP Scan, Advanced IP Scanner, both
for Windows, Freeware) can help. These programs can identify the IP addresses in the network,
but, of course, only of the devices that are turned on. Because of that the resulting information may
not be complete. You can use any of the free addresses to confi gure the FT636 IP Interface.
These are the preallocations of the most important network settings of a FT636 IP Interface:
local IP address:
192.168.16.191
target IP address:
192.168.16.192
net mask:
255.255.255.0
ports:
audio/AF
10000, Protocol UDP
serial/control data 10001, Protocol TCP
web server
80,
Protocol TCP
The following applies:
The IP addresses have to differ from each other.
Net mask and ports have to be identical for both devices.
This means that in any case at least one of the two IP Interfaces has to be reconfi gured and a new
IP address has to be assigned.
In the following example one FT636 IP Interface is to keep its IP address, the other one will be
assigned the IP address 192.168.16.192.
You need the following:
- a PC
- a switch or a hub with at least three free Ethernet/LAN-connectors
alternatively:
- a PC connected to a network
- two connectors to an existing network
In the second case you have to make sure that no address confl icts with the existing network arise.
Therefore the fi rst option, which is easier, is preferable. The PC has to have an IP address begin-
ning with 192.168.16. and the fourth digit can be any number between 1 and 254, but not 191 and
192. The PC´s network mask has to be set at 255.255.255.0 , just like the FT636 IP Interfaces.
This IP address can be installed as a second address in addition to an already existing IP-address
on the PC.
