If you are using Windows NT, select the “Protocols” tab.

Make sure this number is different from the one in the 6K’s IP address. If the 6K’s default IP address is unchanged (192.168.10.30), then select a number other than 30.

NOTE

If you are using a computer (Ethernet card) that is normally connected to a network, you should write down the existing IP Address and Subnet Mask values, so that you may restore them later.

4.Establish an RS-232 communication link between the 6K and your computer (connect to the 6K’s “RS-232” connector according to the instructions in the 6K Installation Guide).

5.Install Motion Planner on your computer, and launch Motion Planner. Click on the Terminal tab to view the terminal emulator.

6.In the Terminal window, click on the button to view the Communications Settings dialog. Select the Port tab and select the COM port that is connected to the 6K’s “RS-232” connector (see Step 4 above). Click OK.

7.In the Terminal window, enable Ethernet communication with the appropriate NTFEN command:

a.If you are using the 6K as a server or client, type the NTFEN2 command and press ENTER, then type the RESET command and press ENTER.

b.If you are using the 6K in a peer-to-peer connection with another 6K or Gem6K, type the NTFEN1 command and press ENTER, then type the RESET command and press ENTER.

8.Use the following sub-procedure to statically map the 6K’s Ethernet MAC address to IP address of the Ethernet card in your PC. Static mapping eliminates the need for the PC to ARP the 6K controller, thereby reducing communication overhead.

a.In Motion Planner’s Terminal window, type TNT and press ENTER. The response includes the 6K IP address, and the 6K Ethernet address value in hex (this is also known as the “MAC” address). Write down the IP address and the Ethernet address (hex value) for later use in the procedure below.

b.Start a DOS window. The typical method to start a DOS window is to select MS-DOS Prompt from the Start/Programs menu (see illustration below).
