4.2 Configuring
the
IP
Address
Before you can access the interface from your web browser or begin using it as a part of your
automation network, you must know its IP address. The interface comes from the factory configured to
obtain an IP address dynamically (DHCP/BOOTP). You can determine the interface’s current IP address
using the
ICC Finder
application included on the CD provided with the interface, or available from the
ICC website at http://www.iccdesigns.com.
4.2.1 Via the Finder Utility
To configure the interface to use a static IP address:
1.
Connect the interface to your network and apply power (whether or not the interface is connected
to the inverter at this point is not relevant.) When the interface boots up, it will attempt to obtain an
IP address from a DHCP server or, failing that, will fallback to either the last static IP address
assigned, or a default static IP address of 192.168.16.102 if no static IP address has yet been
assigned.
2.
To determine the initial IP address of your interface, start the
ICC FINDER.EXE
discovery utility.
3.
The discovery utility scans the network for ICC devices and then lists each device’s
IP Address
,
MAC Address
,
Firmware Version
and
Product Name
. Refer to Figure 17 on page 25. Identify
your device by its unique MAC address (printed on a label on the top of the antenna module
housing).
4.
To change the IP address, select the device in the list of detected devices and click the
Configure
IP Settings
button.
5.
In the dialog that appears, select
Manually configure network settings
.
6.
Enter the desired
IP Address
,
Subnet Mask
and
Default Gateway
in the appropriate boxes, and
then click
Apply
.
7.
Enter the case-sensitive system password (default is “icc”) in the Authentication dialog box, then
click
Submit
.
8.
A popup dialog box will prompt you to reboot. Click
Reboot
. Rebooting may require 30s or more
to complete. When the device status indicates “Ready”, click
Close
.
9.
The discovery utility will automatically rescan the network. Confirm that the new IP address has
been accepted by the device.
4.2.2 Via the Web Page
Once an initial IP address has been assigned to the device and the configuration web page can be
accessed, the IP address-related parameters can also be modified via the web page. Refer to section
5.7.3.
