4.Select Install the software automatically (Recommended).

NOTE: You do not need to insert an installation disc.

5.Click Next.

The PC locates the driver and installs it.

6.When the Completed dialog opens, click Finish to close the wizard.

NOTE: The wizard opens only on the first occasion you connect the SMD 101 to a USB port. The wizard reopens only if you connect the SMD 101 to a different USB port or if you connect a different piece of equipment, requiring a different driver, to the same USB port.

7.Configure the SMD 101 as required.

NOTE: There are three SIS commands you may find useful at this point:

E CI ] returns the current IP address.

E 1DH ] enables DHCP mode.

E 2BOOT ] restarts the network inteface to apply changes.

Use DataViewer (see DataViewer on page 93) to send the commands and view the results.

LAN (Ethernet) Port

The rear panel LAN connector on the device can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. Communication between the device and the controlling PC is via Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The Telnet port can be changed, if necessary, via SIS or using the SMD 101 user interface. This connection makes SIS control of the device possible using a computer connected to the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and behavior of the product are common to the commands and behavior the product exhibits when communicating by serial port or USB.

Ethernet Connection

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (see figure 52).

Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the SMD 101.

Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the SMD 101 to an Ethernet LAN.
