1. Configuringthe IPsystem
TheSmart16IP'scommunicationinterfaceisbasedonTCP/IP, and itcomes
configuredwiththevalueslistedbelow.
·DHCP -disabled
·IP address -192.168.1.22
·Netmask-255.255.255.0
·DefaultGateway-None
If theabovevaluesareunsuitable, changetheIP configuration. Thiscanbedone
ina numberofways:
2. ConfigurationviaDeviceSetupprogram
YoucandownloadtheDeviceSetup softwarefromMinicom’swebsite
www.minicom.com. ConnectSmart16IPtothesamesubnetasyourcomputer.
RuntheDeviceSetup programand assigna Networkconfigurationtotheunit.
3. ConfigurationviaDHCPserver
If youactivateDHCP,Smart16IP willtrytocontacta DHCP serverinthe
networktowhichitisphysicallyconnected. If aDHCPserverisfounditmay
providea validIP address, gatewayaddress and subnetmask. Beforeconnecting
theSmart16 IP toyourlocalsubnetcompletethecorrespondingconfiguration of
yourDHCPserver.
Werecommendconfiguringa fixedIP assignmenttotheMACaddress ofSmart
16 IP. YoucanfindtheMACaddress onthelabelonSmart16 IP'sunderside. If
