FIG. 28 Assigning Communication Settings and TCP/IP Settings

7.Click the Edit Settings button (on the Communications Settings dialog) to open the TCP/IP Settings dialog (FIG. 28).

8.Enter the IP Address into the TCP/IP Address field. This information is obtained from either your System Administrator or from the Obtaining the Master’s IP Address (using DHCP) section on page 42.

9.Click OK three times to close the open dialogs and save your settings.

If you are currently connected to the assigned Master, a popup asks whether you would want to temporarily stop communication to the Master and apply the new settings.

10.Click Yes to interrupt the current communication from the Master and apply the new settings.

11.Click Reboot (from the Tools > Reboot the Master Controller dialog) and wait for the System Master to reboot. The STATUS and OUTPUT LEDs should begin to alternately blink during the incorporation. Wait until the STATUS LED is the only LED to blink.

12.Press Done once the Master Reboot Status field reads Reboot of System Complete.

13.Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default System value is one (1).

14.Right-click the associated System number and select Refresh System. This establishes a new connection to the specified System and populates the list with devices on that system. The communication method is then highlighted in green on the bottom of the NetLinx Studio window.

If the connection fails to establish, a Connection Failed dialog appears. Try selecting a different IP Address if communication fails.

Press the Retry button to reconnect using the same communication parameters. Press the Change button to alter your communication parameters and repeat steps 2 thru 10.

15.Once the particular System Master is configured for communication via an IP Address, remove the DB9 connector from the Program port on the NI on-board Master.
