4.3.9 Access Control (continued)
IP Address: The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a
The DHCP will be enabled in the Coordinator if its IP address is set to 0.0.0.0. The DHCP can also be enabled by setting the DIP switch #3 to ON position. G way Address: A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. A gateway is often associated with a router, which knows where to direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway. If the Coordinator is sending packets to another network node that is not on the same network on which the Coordinator is connected, a gateway address needs to be given to the Coordinator. The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN to which the Coordinator is connected. The Coordinator default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a gateway address.

Power Recycle: Reboots the embedded server. Note that all updated network parameters take effect after reboot.
Changes made in the Access Control page can be saved permanently by pressing the Save button and power recycling the Coordinator (press Power Recycle button). Pressing the Reset button will set all the fields back to their default values.
4.4 Telnet Setup
In the Configuration page, set the TCP Connections to 1 - 5 other than 0, and use a telnet simulation program to connect to the Coordinator (using Port 2000). The command can be sent to query the Coordinator and get a response back.
4.5 HTTPget Program
The HTTPget software is used to send a single HTTP or TCP request to an Coordinator. In contrast, the telnet or Hyperterminal programs allow a continuous connection with multiple requests to be sent to the Coordinator.
Generally HTTPget is used for simply programming an IP address to the Coordinator or for quickly obtaining a reading from a device.
The Coordinator must be configured from the configuration web page so that the "TCP Connections" indicates any number between 1 and 5. Make sure that the Port Field number indicates 2000.
