The parts of the subnet mask containing the number 255 have to correspond in the IP
addresses of the adapter and computer. Compatible addresses in the example thus
include:
10.0
.1.7,
10.0
.12.34,
10.0
.200.300, ...
Be sure to choose an IP address that is not in use elsewhere now or will not be in
the future. It may otherwise be the case that another device on the network will
not be able to communicate properly. For this reason, installation of the adapter
should only be carried out in coordination with the appropriate network
administrator.
In the following example, the address 10.0.12.34 has been selected for the adapter.
The adapter’s IP address can be set multiple ways:
a)
over network: ARP, Telnet
b)
over RS-232
For the configuration by ARP proceed with the following steps.
⇒
Open a command prompt with administrator permissions:
a. Press the Windows key
b. Enter „cmd“
c. Right-click on the highlighted search result
(„cmd“ or „Command Prompt“)
d. Click „Run as administrator“
e. Confirm the UAC security dialog
The result is an elevated command prompt.
⇒
In this, enter the following commands:
arp –s 10.0.12.34 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx
telnet 10.0.12.34 6000
(alternatively open
Here, „10.0.12.34“ is the IP address to be set and „00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx“ is the
adapter’s MAC address. It is listed on the type plate on the adapter’s back side.
