American International Electric SEG-M, SEG-1 installation manual Static IP Address

4.3Static IP Address

The static IP address can be set through the serial port of the SEG using the PC's serial communications port (or through the USB port using a USB to RS232 adapter). This method allows you to configure the IP address of the SEG without any network devices such as a router or a network switch interfering. Refer to the section in this chapter named Static IP Address. You can also set the Static IP address across the LAN via Telnet

4.3.1Setting a Static IP Address of a SEG through a serial connection (via PC com port)

This is the method for configuring the IP address of the SEG if it is going to be assigned a static IP address.

To enter the configuration menu of the SEG, you must perform the following in order:

1.Connect the DB9-RJ11 adapter labeled Gateway Config (supplied with the SEG) to your PC's com port.

2.Plug the 6' phone cord (supplied with the SEG) into the adapter labeled Gateway Config.

3.When using a SEG-1, disconnect the SEG-1 from the LAN and controller and bring it back to the PC, along with its power supply. Plug the other end of the 6' phone cord into the port on the SEG-1 labeled RS232.

4.When using the SEG-M you must leave it installed on the backplane. In this case the PC (a laptop is recommended) must be close to the backplane so you can plug the 6' phone cord into the RJ-11 jack labeled RJ11C on the Max backplane.

5.Run Hub Manager Professional and go to Database > Sites and open that site for editing.

6.Select the tab named TCP/IP Parameters

7.Select the button labeled Launch SEG Serial Port Setup Utility and set the Com Port the SEG is connected to when asked.
