D2119 Dart RTLS User Guide 20
For applications using maps using WMF (windows metafile format) or EMF (enhanced metafile
format), you must also download Java Advanced Imaging, version 1.1.3, from
http://download.java.net/media/jai/builds/release/1_1_3/jai-1_1_3-lib-windows-i586-jre.exe.
Connecting the Dart RTLS Hub to a PC through a LAN
If you can access the 192.168.1 subnet through your LAN, you can directly connect the Hub to
the LAN.
To connect the Hub directly to your LAN:
1 Plug the RJ45 Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the Dart RTLS Hub.
2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN.
3 Plug the power cable in and turn the power on.
Connecting to a Dart RTLS Hub with an unknown IP address
If you do not know the IP address of the Hub, you may be able to connect through a terminal
simulator application to obtain the IP address.
The UWH-1200 RS-232 port is a host male connector, to connect to a computer, a female to female null cable is
required (such as L-com CSNULL9FF-5A WWW.L-COM.COM).
To connect the Dart RTLS Hub through the RS-232 serial port:
1 Connect the serial RS-232 port at the back of the Hub to your computer’s serial port.
2 Run a terminal simulator application, such as HyperTerminal.
3 Set the serial port as follows:
Baud Rate: 115200
Data: 8 bit
Parity: None
Step: 1 bit
Flow Control: None
4 Connect to the Hub.
The terminal screen displays the IP address. In the example below, the IP address is
192.168.1.198.
