    An IP address may be present only once within a network. It must be parameterized in the RF182C. In the user application in the PC, the IP address is specified when establishing a connection.
  • Page 36 Port assignment via web server The assignment of the ports can be changed via the web server. If no connection could be established with the RF182C, check the port setting via the web server. The default port setting is: 10001/10002.

  • Page 37: Data Communication Between Client And Rf182C

    (Page 41). ● Optionally, a configuration message frame (comDevSetConfig) can be sent to the RF182C to change the communication mode stored in the RF182C by default. The client that configures the RF182C first also defines the RF182C settings. Further configurations during operation are not possible. The module must be de- energized or restarted by means of a "Reset"...
  • Page 38 5.2 Data communication between client and RF182C ● If no configuration message frame is sent and the default port setting was not changed via the web server, the RF182C is operated in the default setting. The default values are shown in the following figure:...

    Therefore, you must first assign the IP address data (IP address and subnet mask) to the RF182C so that it can be used in the Ethernet network. An IP address can be assigned to the RF182C using the PST tool or via the web server.

  • Page 41: Assigning The Ip Address

    Assigning the IP address 5.4.1 Overview There are two ways of assigning an IP address to the RF182C communication module: ● Using the "Primary Setup Tool V4-0" ● Via the web server of the communication module Both alternative procedures are described in brief below.
  • Page 42 No contact with web server RF182C If the web server of the communication module does not open, you should make sure that all cables are correctly connected and check whether the RF182C communication module has powered up. 2.
