2.4 Connecting Transpector MPH
Before connecting Transpector MPH, decide:
1
Is Transpector MPH going to be set up on:
a private network (installed directly on to either a computer or a router that
is not hooked up to the internet), or
an internal network where multiple computers are connected with access to
the internet?
2
Is more than one Transpector MPH sensor being installed at the same time?
2.4.1 Connecting a Single Transpector MPH
2.4.1.1 Single Transpector MPH Direct Connection Installation
When installing a single Transpector MPH on a private network or directly
connected to a computer, changing the IP address of Transpector MPH is only
necessary if the computer being used to connect to Transpector MPH has a
different network prefix than Transpector MPH.
The network prefix of Transpector MPH is
192.168.x.x
. The IP address of the host
computer used to control Transpector MPH must have a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0
and a network prefix of
192.168.x.x
.
If this is not the case, change the computer IP address to match the network prefix
of Transpector MPH. For example, giving the computer an IP address of
192.168.1.101
will allow Transpector MPH to communicate directly with the
computer. Refer to
section 2.3.1.2, Changing the Computer IP Address, on page
2.4.1.2 Installing a Single Transpector MPH on an Existing Local Network
When installing a single Transpector MPH on an existing local network, the default
IP address of Transpector MPH may not be compatible with the network.
Transpector MPH can have either a Static IP address (
recommended
) or a
Dynamic IP address set by DHCP (
not recommended
).
Contact your network administrator for information regarding valid IP addresses
and have them assign an IP address for Transpector MPH. See
