3.3.1 Configuring the DT-400 for TUNet programming
This is the default state of the DT-400 when first powered up. In this configuration, the DT-400 runs an
internal DHCP server to enable direct communications with a NC-90. Note: the DT-400 will not be able
to communicate to an NC-90 that has a static address assigned to it. Refer to section 3.4 on how to
configure the DT-400 for this scenario.
Once you have configured this setting, the settings will be automatically saved and you will be logged
out of the account. You must log in again to the System Admin account if you want to make further
changes.
3.3.2 Configuring the DT-400 for remote login using DHCP Addressing
Select this option if Tantalus personnel must remotely access the DT-400 when computers on your
network are required to use DHCP. Make sure the DT-400 is connected to your corporate network so
that it can get an IP address. After a successful IP lease is obtained, the program will display the
assigned IP address. Please report this address to Tantalus.
Once you have configured this setting, the settings will be automatically saved and you will be logged
out of the account. You must log in again to the System Admin account if you want to make further
changes.
3.3.3 Configuring the DT-400 for remote login using Static Addressing
Select this option if Tantalus personnel must remotely access the DT-400 when computers on your
network are required to use static IP assignment. You will be asked a series of questions (sample
answer shown after '>' character):
a) IP address for this unit: >10.1.3.80
b) Net Mask: >255.255.252.0
c) Gateway: >10.1.1.1
