Ethernet communication
(RT220, RT420, RT820F)
You may need to ask your network administrator for advice about setting
up the Ethernet connection.
Ethernet set up is not affected by cold booting the RTxxx.
See Application note APP923 (available from
www.gardasoft.com
) for
troubleshooting Ethernet problems.
10.1 Connection
The Ethernet link uses a 10Base-T connection on an RJ45 connector. The
RTxxx is usually connected to a network switch, hub or router, but you can
connect it directly into the network port on a PC using a crossover cable.
10.2 IP Address
The RTxxx needs an IP address to communicate over Ethernet. There are
two ways to get an IP address; either programmed into the unit or using
DHCP.
For DHCP mode, the RTxxx acquires its IP address, subnet mask and
gateway address from a DHCP server. Otherwise the RTxxx has a fixed IP
address, subnet mask and gateway address.
DHCP mode or the IP address can be set and read using the
GardasoftMaint program available at
www.gardasoft.com
.
The GardasoftMaint window is shown below:
