Important!
At present, the RM SSPA controller supports only one remote
control protocol selection through its Ethernet interface port. This protocol
is referred to as “Normal” on the front panel display (See
Section 3.1
through
Section
3.6
). If the protocol selection is set differently (Terminal),
the controller will force its protocol selection to “Normal”.
The RM SSPA Ethernet port can be connected to a network hub using straight through
network cable or directly to a work station NIC card through a null-modem or cross-
over cable (Rx and Tx lines are crossed). As soon as an Ethernet interface has been
selected as the primary interface, you should be able to verify the network connection
to the unit by using the Ping command from your host workstation.
To do so on a Windows-based PC, open a Command Prompt window and type PING
and the dot delimited IP address of the RM SSPA, then press the Enter key. If the unit
is successfully found on the network, the request statistic will be displayed.
If the unit does not answer on the ping command, check all hardware connections and
verify that the IP settings on your host workstation and the RM SSPA match your net-
work parameters. On a Windows-based PC you may also check Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) table entries. The new IP address of the RM SSPA may be set to an-
other PC or network equipment with a different MAC address.
Open a Command Prompt window and type “ARP -a”, the press Enter. The current
ARP data will be displayed. If you see the RM SSPA IP address entry in the table, de-
lete it by issuing the command “ARP -d XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX” and press Enter
(XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP address of the RM SSPA unit). Try the PING command
again. More information about how to set up a network connection with the RM SSPA
can be found in
Appendix B
.
