19. Enter the obtained number into the IP address boxes. You should be safe using
192.168.0.1 for the gateway address and 255.255.255.0 for the Submask.
20. Download the new data to Netiom-UDP using the “Write To NETIOM” button on the
general page.
21 When the download is complete remove the programming link.
Interface Software
PC based software is provided to provide a graphical interface to programming Netiom-UDP.
On the opening page there are controls for loading and sending data and a logging area
which will show a log of activity as well as any problems encountered.
The Data page is used to set all the necessary parameters for the Netiom-UDP.
Data
Data can be written to Netiom-UDP or read from it via the serial port at 19200 baud. Note that
the programming link must be in place before communications can be established with
Netiom-UDP. The best way to use the program is to read data from Netiom-UDP, modify it
and then write it back.
At start up the program will load a set of defaults from the file “DefaultConfig.txt”. If you need
a different set of defaults you can overwrite this file with your own values. If you have several
different configurations then these can be saved as separate files.
Before sending data to Netiom-UDP the data is checked for any inconsistencies and will not
proceed if any are found. If problems are encountered a list is written to the logging window.
During the write operation to Netiom-UDP all data is read back and compared with the data
sent. If there are any problems then they will be reported in the log window.
Setting The Address
In order to function properly on a network Netiom-UDP needs know the following information:
IP Address
Gateway Address
Submask
Netiom-UDP is able to collect this information automatically if the network has a DHCP
server. However if these addresses are obtained automatically they will be dynamic and can
change with time. This may cause an interruption to the link, however it should be restored
automatically.
To obtain an address automatically check the “Get Address Automatically” box. After you
download the data to Netiom-UDP and remove the link Netiom-UDP will attempt to obtain the
relevant information.
