Adapting the TCP/IP Interface Parameters of the E-871.1A1N
If you need to adapt the interface parameters of the E-871.1A1N to use the E-871.1A1N in
a network, proceed as follows.
1. Establish communication between the E-871.1A1N and the PC via a different interface
(e.g.,
2. Select the

4. Make the necessary adaptations in the
TCP/IP
tab in the
Stored Settings
area:
a)
IP address
field: E-871.1A1N's IP address in format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:50000
b)
IP mask
mask: Network's subnet mask
c)
IP start
field: E-871.1A1N's startup behavior
manual
: Manually specified, static IP address is used
DHCP
: IP address is assigned automatically by a DHCP server.
5. Save the changed settings to the nonvolatile memory of the E-871.1A1N by clicking
Store
.
➔
The
Store interface settings
dialog opens.
6. Click
Store settings
in the
Store interface settings
dialog.
➔
The dialog closes. The settings were stored in the nonvolatile memory of the E-871.1A1N .
7. Close the
Configure Interface

8. Close the connection with the E-871.1A1N by selecting the
Connections > Close >
E-871.1A1N
menu item in the main window of PIMikroMove.
9. Switch the E-871.1A1N off and on again via its toggle switch.
CAUTION
Risk of crushing from unexpected motion!
When the communication between the E-871.1A1N and the PC is established via TCP/IP, the
PC software offers all electronics for selection that are available in the same network. After
selecting a E-871.1A1N for the connection, all commands are transmitted to this device. If the
wrong device is selected, unexpected motion could be commanded and result in bruising
injuries to the operating and maintenance staff of the positioner connected.
►
If several E-871.1A1N entries are displayed in the PC software, make sure that you select
the right E-871.1A1N.
