Getting started
network could communicate with the acquisition module if it was configured
to use an IP address of (for example)
192.168.0.2
with a matching netmask
of
255.255.255.0
.
Note:
IP addresses assigned using this method will be lost if
the unit is rebooted. To permanently assign an IP address,
refer to the Platinum manual, MAN-EAM-0003, available
from www.guralp.com
If you wish to connect to the EAM-R from a PC, they must either both be on
the same subnet (usually the first three numbers of the IP address) or be able
to connect to each other via routers.
In the latter case, you will need to tell the acquisition module the address of
its default router. Please refer to the Platinum manual, MAN-EAM-0003, for
more details.
2.1.4 Discovering dynamically allocated addresses
There are three ways to discover a dynamically allocated address. You can
read it from the unit's LCD display, you can connect to the serial port and
enquire or you can use a broadcast address in Scream.
2.1.4.1 Using the serial port
To use the serial port, connect a terminal emulator (as described in section
2.1.3 on page 5 and issue the command:
ip addr show dev eth0
You will see output like
eam999 ~ #
ip addr show dev eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:50:c2:40:54:75 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.0.101/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0
inet6 fe80:250:c2ff:fe40:5475/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
eam999 ~ #
The first line of the output should contain the word
UP
, confirming that the
adaptor has been enabled. The IP address that has been assigned is shown on
the line beginning
inet
- in this case, it is
192.168.0.101
(with a netmask
of 24-bits indicated by
/24
).
