4.10 Ethernet 10/100 Network Interface
The communication between the Protégé® System and the Protégé® SE Integrated System
Controller uses a 10/100 Ethernet network operating the TCP/IP protocol suite. The IP address of
the Protégé® SE Integrated System Controller can be configured using the LCD Keypad
Terminal. The default IP address is set to a static IP address of 192.168.1.2 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. These IP address settings are commonly used for internal networks.
When installing an Ethernet connection the Protégé® SE Integrated System Controller should be
interfaced using a standard segment (<100m in length) and should be connected to a suitable
Ethernet hub or switch.
Temporary direct connections can be used for onsite programming by connecting directly to the
computer Ethernet port.
?
Installing the Protégé® SE Integrated System Controller on an active network
requires knowledge of the configuration and structure for the network. Always
consult the network or system administrator and ask them to provide you with a
fixed IP address that can be assigned to the Protégé® SE Integrated System
Controller.
!
When the IP address has previously been set and is not known you are able to set
configuration DIP switch 3
(Section 8.0)
which on power up of the Protégé® SE
Integrated System Controller will configure the IP address to 192.168.111.222 this
will allow access to the configuration utility to change or review the programmed
IP Address.
