Transpector MPS Operating Manual
2.4 Connecting Transpector MPS
Before connecting Transpector MPS, decide:
1
Is Transpector MPS 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 MPS sensor being installed at the same time?
2.4.1 Connecting a Single Transpector MPS
2.4.1.1 Single Transpector MPS Direct Connection Installation
When installing a single Transpector MPS on a private network or directly
connected to a computer, changing the IP address of Transpector MPS is only
necessary if the computer being used to connect to Transpector MPS has a
different network prefix than Transpector MPS.
The network prefix of Transpector MPS is
192.168.x.x
. The IP address of the host
computer used to control Transpector MPS 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 MPS. For example, giving the computer an IP address of
192.168.1.101
will allow Transpector MPS 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 MPS on an Existing Local Network
When installing a single Transpector MPS on an existing local network, the default
IP address of Transpector MPS may not be compatible with the network.
Transpector MPS 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 MPS. See
