Connecting GYDA to your local area network
Follow this guide to quickly install your GYDA controller to an Ethernet
network.
This quick guide assumes that you already have a computer connected to your
LAN and have TCP/IP running on that computer. If you are unfamiliar with
TCP/IP, it could be a good help to have assistance from your system administrator
while doing this
.
5.1
Ethernet connection
The GYDA System Controller has a 10Base-T connection on RJ-45. This can be
connected to your local area network devices like a switch or a hub with
unshielded twisted pair cable of type cat 3 or higher.
To access the GYDA System Controller directly from a laptop PC you can use a
crossover cable.
5.2
Assigning an IP address to GYDA
Step 1
:
Get an IP address for your unit. Your network administrator normally assigns
this. Remember that the IP address must be unique on your LAN. If you use
the same IP address as another device or machine on your network, you will
cause network problems for you and other users of the LAN. Please make sure
that you use a unique IP address.
Write down the IP address here:
The IP Address for the controller is:
Step 2
:
Write down the controller MAC address (also called an "Ethernet address" or a
"hardware address") on the controller card. This is printed below the Compact
Flash Card on the GYDA controller, or on a printed sticker on the backside of
the controller.
A typical MAC address looks like: "00-01-C0-00-21-35"
A MAC address can contain the numbers (0-9) and the letters A to F.
Note that the MAC Address can never contain the letter O, only the number 0
(zero)
.
Write down the MAC address here:
The MAC Address for the controller is:
12
