SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
The “Request timed out” response indicates that the IP address is not in use and the encoder can be connected without causing
errors.
Attach your encoder to the network and power it on
Apply power to the encoder. When the encoder powers on, it performs an internal initialization, then establishes a connection to the
LAN. Wait until the initialization process completes before continuing. It may take up to 3 minutes for your encoder to initialize.
Congure the encoder IP address
1. Open the 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. The following window shows a typical report from an uncongured 4-channel encoder.
Check the list of devices found by IPAdmin Tool. You can identify your encoder by the MAC addresses. The MAC addresses
are assigned during manufacture and can be found on the label on the underside of the unit. In networks without DHCP, the
initial IP address of each channel is 192.168.0.100.
The Rack Info eld “M” number is directly associated with the Vin channel (M0 for Vin1, M1 for Vin2, etc.). Notice that in the
display the Rack Info identiers do you appear in order. See the following table for the example shown above.
