4. In the IP Setup window, click the Static option bullet. If you have other compatible network settings
you want to apply to the device, enter them in the appropriate locations. Click Setup to continue.
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. Repeat these steps to setup the other three encoder IP channels.
8. Continue with procedure Step 5. Setup encoder Basic Conguration.
Installing encoders on LANs without DHCP
Conguring 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 four network settings (IP addresses) that are not in use and can be assigned to the IP
channels of your encoder.
— Attach the encoder to the network, power it on, and congure each IP channel 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 ipcong. 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
reference later.
NOTE
If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, the IP address is identied as the “IPv4 Address.”
Check the 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 conicts. 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: 192.168.5. After the third period, include any number
between 1 and 254 that is dierent from the one in your PC’s IP address, 3. As a rst try, let’s
choose 75, which will form the IP address 192.168.5.75.
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 192.168.5.75.
In the example shown above, the message “Reply from 192.168.5.75: ..” 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 192.168.5.75 is in use, try another number between 1 and
254. Let’s try to ping 192.168.5.20. At the command prompt, enter: ping 192.168.5.20
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.
e. Repeat these steps to nd IP addresses for the other IP channels of your encoder.
Attach your encoder to the network, power it on, and conguring it with new network settings
1. Connect the encoder to the LAN, then plug in the power adapter to power it on. Wait until the
initialization process completes (about 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 entries with the MAC addresses of the encoder you installed. If all four IP
addresses are not shown, click Refresh once a minute until all four addresses are shown.
4. Right click the encoder entry with Rack Info R0,B0,M0 (IP channel associated with Vin1), then
select IP Address.
Static Option
5. In the IP Setup window:
a. Select the Static option if it is not selected.
b. Enter the new IP address for your encoder into the IP Address eld.
c. Enter the subnet mask of your computer into the Subnet Mask eld.
