Configuring for Network Operation:
Firstly, obtain the following information from the IT or Network Manager (you can write it
below). Note, if you are connecting to a DHCP enabled network, you should not require this
info:
I.P. Address: . . .
Subnet Mask: . . .
Default Gateway: . . .
Configuring via a DHCP Server
If you have been advised by the IT or Network Manager that the network you wish to attach
to is served by a DHCP server, there is no need to set the IP address, Subnet Mask or
Gateway. The DHCP server will automatically configure the DV-IP for operation. By default,
the unit name on the network will be the machine serial number (shown on the product
sticker).
Alternatively the system name can be assigned using the command
<esc>M\USERNAME\xxxx where xxxx is a unique system name you assign to the DV-IP.
This should be entered at the command prompt (see below for instructions on using a
terminal programme to access this). The Esc key and M should be pressed at the same time.
Configuring via a Terminal Program on your PC
1. Connect the supplied RS232 cable from a PC serial port to the port labelled ‘Com 4’ on
the DV-IP. Do not connect the Ethernet cable at this stage
2. Open your terminal program e.g. HyperTerminal. This can be found usually in your
windows start menu under Programs> Accessories> Communications> HyperTerminal
3. If requested, enter a name in the New Connection box. In the Connect Using field,
select the COM port that the serial lead is attached to on your PC.
4. Configure the serial port settings on the PC for the following:
Bits per Second: 38400
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
5. Click the connect button in the Terminal programme
6. At this stage, ignore any system messages that may appear.
7. Once connected, type +++ in the terminal screen to log on. The system will respond
back with the DVIP> Command Line prompt. Set the IP Address – using the IP Address
given to you previously, enter the following command in the terminal session (note that
<esc>M requires you to press the Esc key and the M key at the same time):
<esc>M\ETHER_IP\aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd<enter>
where <esc> is the escape button, aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd is the IP address and <enter> is the
enter key
8. Set the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway - type:
<esc>M\SUBNET\aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd<enter>
where aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd is the network’s Subnet mask, then type:
<esc>M\GATEWAY\aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd<enter>
where aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd is the network’s default gateway (This may not be required on
some networks)
