Transpector SPS Operating Manual
3.4 Connecting Transpector SPS
Before connecting Transpector SPS, decide:
Is Transpector SPS going to be on:
a private network (installed directly on 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?
Is more than one Transpector SPS sensor being installed at the same time?
3.4.1 Connecting a Single Transpector SPS
3.4.1.1 Single Transpector SPS Direct Connection Installation
When installing a single Transpector SPS on a private network or directly
connected to a computer, changing the IP address of Transpector SPS is
necessary only if the computer being used to connect to Transpector SPS has a
different network prefix than Transpector SPS.
The network prefix of Transpector SPS is
192.168.x.x
. The IP address of the
host computer used to control Transpector SPS 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 SPS. For example, giving the computer an IP address of
192.168.1.101
will allow Transpector SPS to communicate directly with the
computer. (See
section 3.5, Changing the Computer IP Address, on page 3-8
.)
3.4.1.2 Installing a Single Transpector SPS on an Existing Local Network
When installing a single Transpector SPS on an existing local network, the default
IP address of Transpector SPS may not be compatible with the network.
Transpector SPS can have either a Static IP address (
recommended
) or a
Dynamic IP address set by DHCP (
not recommended
).
Contact the network administrator for information regarding valid IP addresses and
ask the administrator to assign an IP address for Transpector SPS. (Refer to
