4.Use a twisted-pair UTP or STP cable (category 3, 4, 5) to connect the HMI-640S through its RJ-45 port to a hub (or a switch) within the Ethernet LAN, to which your host PC is also connected to.

5.Assign valid IP addresses for your HMI-640S and host PC. If you are joining an existing Intranet, ask your network administrator for valid IP addresses. If your are using a DHCP server on the network, you have just no need to assign IP addresses yourself.

Note:

To assign the IP addresses to your machines, just

 

access Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network

 

properties sheet and enter valid IP addresses for

 

your machine.

Note:

If your network are using a DHCP server for

 

dynamic IP address assignment, you have then no

 

need to assign by yourself since the IP addresses

 

will be assigned to each networking device once it

 

is connected to the network.

6.Enter the device name for your HMI-640S for network identifica- tion.

Note:

To assign a device name to your HMI-640S, just

 

access Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network

 

properties sheet and enter the device name for your

 

HMI-640S. You have to reboot your system to make

 

the device name viable on the network.

7.After properly establishing the IP status and the device name of your machine on the network, You must reboot to make it viable on the network.

8.After rebooting is complete, verify that your HMI-640S is functionable within the network.
