W&T
IP-Watcher 2x2 Digital PoE
supply for supplying the outputs as well, but use no more than
30V for powering the device.
In the configuration you can set up, to give the power supply
of the IP-Watcher directly to the terminals Vdd and GND. In this
case an external supply for the IOs is not required. Powered
internally, both outputs can drive 150mA as maximum.
2.5 Assigning the IP address using Wutility
Once the hardware has been powered as described above using
either PoE or an external power supply, the IP address required
for operating in a TCP/IP network needs to be assigned. The
necessary values (IP address, net mask, etc.) can be obtained
from your system administrator.
The assigned IP address must be unique within the
1
network.
There are several ways to assign the IP address. To make the
process as convenient as possible, we have developed the
WuTility
program, which you can download from our homepage
http://www.wut.de
. This procedure is described in the
following. A summary of possible alternatives can be found in
the Appendix to this manual.
Ensure that the PC you are assigning the IP address with is in
the same subnet as the IP-Watcher you are configuring. Both
devices must be connected to the network.
At startup the
WuTility
automatically searches the local network
for connected W&T network devices and displays them in an
inventory list. The scan procedure can be repeated as often as
desired by clicking on the
Scan
button.
Now select the IP-Watcher from the displayed list. If you have
more than one unconfigured W&T network devices in your
network, you can use the MAC address to create the relations-
hip between list entry and terminal device:
