This section describes the procedure for setting up the Ethernet IP interface through
the RCP front panel interface. It also describes basic network setup of a Windows
based host PC for a peer-to-peer network connection with the RCP unit.
Important! Do not use a crossover cable to connect to the network hub, use
crossover only for direct PC-to-RCP connection!
1. Connect J6 Ethernet Port of the RCP controller to a host PC through a crossover
null-modem network cable (see Appendix C) for wiring details.
2. If the PC NIC card has not previously been set, do so now using the following
procedure, otherwise skip to Step 3.
2.1 From Windows Control Panel select Network icon;
2.2 Select TCP/IP properties of your LAN card. The window shown in Figure A-1 will
appear:
2.3 Select "Specify an IP Address". And enter the following parameters in the IP
address and Subnet fields:
IP Address: 192.168.0.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
After you press "OK", depending on the operating system, you may need to reboot the
workstation.
