17 IP forwarding By default, this parameter is set to 0. For normal operation,
there is no need to modify this setting. Setting a value 1 will
enable IP forwarding between the two network ports on the
device. This function is not required for normal operation of the
device.
8 Set the number of the port that is
used for communications with the
system controller.
By default this is set to 5432, and this may be changed if
required. Note that all VNC 200 units MUST have the same port
number assigned.
18 Set the port number that is used
for communication with the web
server.
By default this is set to 80, and this may be changed if required.
Note that the web browser in use must use the same port
number.
NOTE: Option 18 is only visible on the controller.
9 Reboot and activate settings. Reboot the VNC 200 to activate any changes made.
NOTE: Typing reboot at the HyperTerminal cursor will also
reset the unit.
NOTES:
• For advice on choosing IP addresses, see “Using the Ping Utility to Test
Communications”.
• For normal applications only Network Port 1 settings need to be configured.
• Options 1 and 11 are toggle action. For example, to switch between static and DCHP
modes simply type 1 <Enter>. The currently selected mode is the option listed first.
When DHCP mode is selected, options 2, 3, 4, and 5 (or 12, 13, 14, and 15) will not
be displayed.
• Only one VNC 200 may be configured as a controller (see below). The controller IP
(option 7) must be set to the IP address of the unit designated as the controller.
To configure a VNC 200 as a controller…
1. Ensure the boot method for Network Port 1 is set to static (option 1).
2. Set the IP address (option 2) and controller IP (option 7) to the same value.
To implement the new settings…
1. Once you have completed making any changes, type 9 <Enter> to exit the menu. The
VNC 200 will now reboot automatically to implement the new settings.
2. If the unit does not reboot for any reason or you want to perform a manual reboot,
type reboot <Enter> at the command prompt (or cycle the power off and on) to
reboot the unit and implement the new settings.
The VNC 200 is now ready for connection to the network.
