5. In the Login window, enter the ID and PW
(password) for your encoder, then click Login. The
default administrator values for the ID and PW are
root and pass.
6. In the IPAdmin Tool window, click Refresh. Verify that the entry representing the encoder now
shows the (new) static IP address.
7. Continue with procedure Step 5. Setup encoder Basic Conguration.
Installing encoders on LANs without DHCP
In networks without a DHCP server, encoders must be powered on and recongured one at a time to avoid
addressing conicts between other encoders, or possibly with another device on the network. Conguring
the network settings of your encoders includes these steps:
Determine the network settings of your computer.
Check the network for compatibility with the default static network settings of your encoder.
Find an IP address that is not in use and can be assigned to your encoder.
Attach your encoder to the network, power it on, and conguring it with new network
settings.
Determine the network settings of your computer
1. At a PC attached to the LAN where your encoder will be connected, determine the IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway of your PC. To nd this information:
a. Hold down the Windows key and press r to
open the Run dialog box.
b. Type cmd in the entry eld, then click OK to
open the Command Prompt window.
c. At the command prompt, enter ipcong. The response will show the your PC’s network
settings.
d. Record the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for your PC’s Ethernet adapter for
future reference.
NOTE
The Ethernet adapter data you see by using ipcong will probably be dierent from that shown
in the example above. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, the IP address is identied
as the “IPv4 Address.
Check LAN for default IP address compatibility
Before connecting your encoder to the LAN, check the network to see if IP address 192.168.0.100 is already
in use. At a Microsoft Windows computer attached to the LAN where the encoder will be connected, open
a Command Prompt window and enter:
ping 192.168.0.100
The “Request timed out” response indicates that the IP address is not in use and the encoder can be
connected without causing conicts. If the response from the ping command received a “Reply.., the IP
address is in use. Contact Technical Support for further assistance, if needed.
Find network settings (IP addresses) that are not in use
1. At your PC, nd an IP address on your network that is not in use:
a. Write down the EXACT IP address of your PC up to the third/last period. Using the example
shown above, this expression is: 192.168.1. After the third period, include any number
between 1 and 254 that is dierent from the one in your PC’s IP address, 168. As a rst try,
let’s choose 200, which will form the IP address 192.168.1.200.
b. Next, use the ping command in the Command Prompt window to see if this IP address is in
use on your network. Enter:
ping 192.168.1.200.
In the example shown above, the message “Reply from 192.168.1.200: ..” indicates that
your PC can reach a device with that IP address, and that address is in use (i.e., you cannot
use it for your encoder).
c. Since the ping test showed that 192.168.1.200 is in use, try another number between 1 and
254. Let’s try to ping 192.168.1.201. At the command prompt, enter: ping 192.168.1.201
d. In this test, the message “Request timed out” indicates that your PC cannot reach the
device with that IP address, and that address is probably not in use. If this test showed that
this IP address is in use, try other IP addresses using the steps above until an unused address
is found.
Attach your encoder to the network, power it on, and conguring it with new network settings
1. Connect the encoder to the LAN and apply power to the encoder. Wait until the initialization process
completes (2 to 4 minutes) before continuing.
2. Open the directory IPAdminTool directory on your computer, then double click the le
IPAdminTool.exe to start the application. When the IPAdmin Tool starts, it will discover all the IP
devices it supports that exist on the network. The discovery process may take a few minutes.
3. In the Product list, nd the entry with the same MAC address as the encoder you installed. If the
encoder is not shown, click Refresh once a minute to update the list.
4. Right click on the entry for your encoder and select IP Address.
