Network configuration overview
Communication with the sensor is carried out via a free Ethernet interface on the
PC. It is usually an integrated LAN interface.
This interface must be assigned an address (IP address) so that it can establish a
connection with the sensor.
The various stations in a TCP/IP network are identified via IP addresses. Each IP
address must only be used once within a subnet. IP addresses are made up of 4
blocks, each with a three-digit number between 0 and 255 (8 bit), e.g.
192.168.2.65.
Example:
IP address 192.168.2.2 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0
A device with these settings can establish direct communication with any IP
address between 192.168.2.0 and 192.168.2.255. (The first 3 blocks must
match.)
In TCP/IP networks, fixed IP addresses can be set on the device or they can be
assigned dynamically by a DHCP server.
The sensor does not support DHCP, i.e. only fixed IP addresses can be
used.
The Ethernet interface used on the PC to communicate with the sensor must be
configured in line with the sensor settings. However, one must ensure that the
sensor IP address is not entered in the PC.
Example:
Sensor setting:
IP 192.168.2.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
LAN interface on the PC:
IP 192.168.2.90
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
