Pressure Systems 98RK, 9816 user manual Host IP Address Assignment for Windows Operating Systems

Pressure Systems, Inc. 98RK-1 & 9816 User’s Manual©

NOTE:

NOTE:

NetScanner™ modules are factory configured to use a 200.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address with a 192.0.0.0 subnet mask. These addresses were chosen with the understanding that the modules would be run on a totally private network. Addressing errors may occur if modules are connected to a company internal network or if the modules are connected to the Internet. If you are not sure about the configured networking scheme, please consult your network administrator.

NetScanner™ modules are currently designed to use RARP protocol and BOOTP protocol for Dynamic IP address assignment. When placed in Dynamic addressing mode (through UDP Query’s “Enable Dynamic IP” command, or through the TCP/IP protocol ‘w1301’command), the modules will first try to resolve their addresses using RARP protocol. If no RARP server can be found, the modules will then use the BOOTP protocol. The modules will alternate between these two protocols until a response is received and an IP address is assigned. If you are not sure about these protocols, or if your modules should be using them, please contact your network administrator.

When using the Configure/Control Multi-Point Calibration ('C') command, only the local variables in the module’s volatile main

NOTE: memory (RAM) are changed. Refer to Section 4.5 if it is desired to also store these new offset and gain coefficients in transducer non-volatile memory.

6.1.3.2Host IP Address Assignment for Windows® Operating Systems

In order to communicate with the Ethernet 9816, the host computer must also be configured with an appropriate IP address. For most Windows®,-based operating systems, a typical configuration is described below. Note that this configuration assumes that a host PC Ethernet adapter is installed and not in use for any other TCP/IP application. If your Ethernet adapter is used for other TCP/IP communications, contact your network administrator to determine proper host IP address and subnet mask configurations before proceeding.

Activate the Windows control bar (left click the START icon). Select the SETTINGS line followed by the CONTROL PANEL folder. In the CONTROL PANEL folder, select the NETWORK icon. Once in the NETWORK setup, select the tab labeled CONFIGURATION. Scroll through the list of installed configuration protocols. Select the one labeled ‘TCP/IP-.xxxx’where xxxx will typically identify your Ethernet adapter card. There may be other TCP/IP protocols listed for other items such as dial up adapters, these are not used for the NetScanner™ System Ethernet configuration. If the TCP/IP protocol is not listed in the configuration menu, left click the ADD button. Continue by selecting to add a PROTOCOL.
