Teledyne M300E 5:LAN/Internet Configuration Properties, Property, Default State, Description

Teledyne API – Technical Manual - Model 300E Family CO Analyzers Remote Operation

8.4.2.CONFIGURING THE ETHERNET INTERFACE OPTION USING DHCP

The Ethernet option for you M300E/EM uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure its interface with your LAN automatically. This requires your network servers also be running DHCP. The analyzer will do this the first time you turn the instrument on after it has been physically connected to your network. Once the instrument is connected and turned on, it will appear as an active device on your network without any extra set up steps or lengthy procedures.

NOTE

It is a good idea to check the INET settings the first time you power up your analyzer after it has been physically connected to the LAN/Internet to make sure that the DHCP has successfully downloaded the appropriate information from you network server(s).

The Ethernet configuration properties are viewable via the analyzer’s front panel.

Table 8-5: LAN/Internet Configuration Properties

PROPERTY	DEFAULT STATE		DESCRIPTION
DHCP STATUS	On	Editable	This displays whether the DHCP is turned ON or OFF.
INSTRUMENT	Configured by	EDIT key	This string of four packets of 1 to 3 numbers each (e.g.
		disabled when
IP ADDRESS	DHCP		192.168.76.55.) is the address of the analyzer itself.
		DHCP is ON
GATEWAY IP	Configured by	EDIT key	A string of numbers very similar to the Instrument IP address
		disabled when	(e.g. 192.168.76.1.) that is the address of the computer used by
ADDRESS	DHCP
		DHCP is ON	your LAN to access the Internet.
			Also, a string of four packets of 1 to 3 numbers each (e.g.
			255.255.252.0) that defines that identifies the LAN to which the
	Configured by	EDIT key	device is connected.
			All addressable devices and computers on a LAN must have the
SUBNET MASK		disabled when
	DHCP		same subnet mask. Any transmissions sent devices with
		DHCP is ON
			different subnet masks are assumed to be outside of the LAN
			and are routed through a different gateway computer onto the
			Internet.
		Editable, but	TSP listening port 1. This port is used for standard Ethernet
TCP PORT11	3000		communications. The number defines the terminal control port
		DO NOT
		CHANGE	by which the instrument is addressed by terminal emulation
			software, such as Teledyne API’s APICOM.
TCP PORT21	520	Editable, but	TSP listening port 2. This port is reserved for the M300E/EM
		DO NOT	Analyzer’s optional Modbus® capability. The number matches
		CHANGE	the default address specified by Modbus® specifications.
	DEFAULT =		The name by which your analyzer appears when addressed by
HOST NAME		Editable	other computers on the LAN or via the Internet. While the
	Model Type		default setting is the model type (e.g. M300E, etc.) the host
			name may be changed to fit customer needs.
ONLINE	ON	Editable	Enables or disables the M300E/EM Analyzer’s two TCP Ports.
			The TCP ports are inactive when this is set to OFF.
1 DO NOT CHANGE	the setting for this	property unless instructed to by Teledyne API’s Customer Service personnel.

NOTE

If the gateway IP, instrument IP and the subnet mask are all zeroes (e.g. “0.0.0.0”), the DCHP was not successful in which case you may have to configure the analyzer’s Ethernet properties manually.

See your network administrator.
