1. Introduction
1.1. General remarks
First of all, we would like to congratulate you to the purchase of a high quality
DEDITEC product.
Our products are being developed by our engineers according to quality
requirements of high standard. Already during design and development we take
care that our products have -besides quality- a long availability and an optimal
flexibility.
Modular design
The modular design of our products reduces the time and the cost of
development. Therefor we can offer you high quality products at a competitive
price.
Availability
Because of the modular design of our products, we have to redesign only a
module instead of the whole product, in case a specific component is no longer
available.
1.2. Customer satisfaction
Our philosophy: a content customer will come again. Therefor customer
satisfaction is in first place for us.
If by any chance, you are not content with the performance of our product,
please contact us by phone or mail immediately.
We take care of the problem.
1.3. Customer response
Our best products are co-developments together with our customers. Therefor
we are thankful for comments and suggestions.

2.5. Controll LEDs
The Ethernet module has a series of control LEDs. They are used for easy visual
indication of various state functions.
While switching the module on, in normal operating mode, the module should
signalize the following sequence:
approx. 20 sec after switching the module on, LED 1 and 2 are flashing briefly.
-> Operating system has been loaded successfully.
Then LED 3 is on permanently and LED 1 is flashing. -> Module is ready.

3. Configuring the module
3.1. Configuration via DELIB Configuration utility
This method allows a simple configuration of the product. Following basic
values can be changed.
Module name
IP address
Net mask
Default gateway
DNS server
Additionally with this tool all DEDITEC ethernet devices in the LAN network are
displayed.
The following pages describe how it works...

Configuring the module | Seite 14
Start DELIB Configuration utility as follows:
Start -> Programs -> DEDITEC -> DELIB -> DELIB Configuration Utility
1. Module Selection: select RO-ETH
2. Find and configure RO-ETH Module

Configuring the module | Seite 15
1. Scan RO-ETH modules: So you can find all DEDITEC ETH modules on local
ethernet stream. Therefore we use an ethernet protocol which will not be
routed. Because of that you can configure only modules which are connected
to the bus. The advantage of this method is, that you can find modules which
are not in the same sub net, of which you are configuring.
2. Click on the module, which you want to configure.

Configuring the module | Seite 16
Here you can change the module name according to your wishes
1. You can change module name, IP address, net mask, default gateway and
DNS server.
2. Write new Values to Module.
Notice:
At the configuration of the RO-ETH module should be paid attention to the IP
address. It has to be in the same IP segment in which the control PC is. Of
course you must not select an already used IP address.
If the standard IP address of the module is not from the address range of the
network, the module will not be reachable by TCP/IP at the moment. Problems
of accessibility will also occur, if the IP address is already used. However the IP
address and the net mask of the ethernet module are configurable by this utility.
Alternatively you can connect the module to the PC and set the IP address and
the net mask directly. After the accessibility is given, the further configuration is
ensued by a browser via the integrated web server of the ethernet module.
To these belongs ask your system administrator.

3.2. Configuration via internal web server
The RO-ETH module has an own web server by which it can be configured, too.

3.3. Factory settings
The factory settings of the ethernet module include following settings:
IP address: 192.168.1.1
The factory settings can be restored by pushing the left button -> see chapter
5.2
IP address 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Standard gateway 192.168.1.254
