SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
In the example shown above, the message “Reply from 192.168.1.200: ..” indicates that your PC can reach the
device with that IP address, and that address is in use (i.e., you cannot use it for your encoder).
d. Since the ping test of the IP address we tried showed the address was in use, try another number between 1 and 254.
For example, let’s ping 192.168.1.201. At the DOS prompt, enter: ping 192.168.1.201
e. 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. Enter this number into Table 1. If this test indicated that this IP address is in use, try
other IP addresses using the steps above until an unused address is found.
Check LAN for default IP address compatibility
Because all DIGIOP Black encoders and encoders are factory congured with the static IP address 192.168.0.100, check the LAN
before connecting your encoder to ensure that network conicts won’t occur.
At a Microsoft Windows computer attached to the LAN subnet 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
errors.
