About the interface cards
9.2.2 With the IP-Cong tool
For device series which do not allow to configure the network
parameters directly on the device, the parameters can be
configured via the USB port of the network card and with the
„IP-Config“ tool that is included on the supplied tools CD in
folder \software or can be downloaded from our website. It
requires to use the included USB cable.
Before using IP-Config make sure the jumpers on the Ether-
net card are set to position NORM
Take care for correct driver installation and IP-Config will
be able to detect the device. Select your device, and read
the old parameters from the device by clicking on the READ
button, edit the values and write them permanently to the
device with the WRITE button.
Before the new parameters are activated, the device has
to be completely switched off (mains switch) and switched
on again.
9.2.3 On the device website
In order to change the IP on the device website perform
following steps:
1. Connect the Ethernet card via patch cable to a PC and
access the current IP with a browser (Chrome, Firefox,
IE). In case the card was not set to a custom IP before,
the default IP is 10.0.0.1.
2. The browser should load the website. On page CONFIG,
you can enter new network parameters IP, SUBNET
MASK, GATEWAY, if DHCP is not used. Else these can
be ignored.
3. Change the TCP port, if the default value can not be used.
4. If required, activate DHCP. As soon as the settings are
submitted, the Ethernet card reboots and tries to contact
a DHCP server in the network. If a server is found, it will
assign new network settings to the card. If no server is
found, the card will use the network parameters as given
via website or as stored inside the device.
5. Write changes to device/Ethernet card by SUBMIT button.
The new network parameters are instantly active and the
Ethernet card will reboot After a few seconds, the card or
the website is becomes accesible again (refresh).
Note
The „Port“ setting is 1001 by default and used for TCP/IP
communication in order to control the device. For HTTP
and webbrowser access, port 80 is reserved.
