The computer must be configured with the same Subnet Mask as the unit, but a different IP address, to connect properly.
For connecting with the Converter set to the address in the example above, the following settings are recommended for the
PC:
Parameters
PC Setting
IP Address
192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0
Gateway
0.0.0.0
Configuring via Ethernet
If the unit can be contacted with the factory IP setting, the IP setting may be changed via the web interface. In a situation
where the default IP parameters are incompatible with the facility LAN, the system may be temporarily attached directly to
a PC as described on Page 31 so the IP parameters may be set. The connection and configuration may be verified from a
PC attached to the LAN using the network “ping” command. From a command prompt, enter
“ping <assigned IP address>”
The response will either indicate whether a connection was established.
ACCESSING THE SYSTEM
Access via the Web Interface
All system settings may be may be queried or modified via the Web Interface. The web page designs have been optimized
for the use with the Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) Version 5.0 web browser, or higher. Use of Cookies must be
enabled (see the TOOLS|INTERNET OPTIONS|PRIVACY setting).
Web access may function properly, or with somewhat degraded performance, using other browsers of the same vintage.
Browsers of earlier vintage are not recommended.
To connect to the Converter, launch the web browser on any PC connected to the same LAN, and enter the address
http://<assigned IP address>
A sign-on page requesting the password should be displayed. The default password is “11111”.
The operator may navigate between the available pages by clicking on the button images located about 1/3 of the way
down from the top of the screen.
To set an operating parameter, make the appropriate changes on that screen, then change the (screen-locked) pulldown to
UNLOCKED, and press the Submit or other applicable button.
