Chapter 4: Configuration; Settings And Configuration; Maintenance Ethernet Connection - Omron LD-60 User Manual

The LD platform comes with firmware and onboard software installed.
This chapter describes how to configure your new platform.
The platform navigates using a map, generated with the MobilePlanner software. The map
must be generated and downloaded to the platform before you can perform the steps covered
in the Operation chapter of this manual.
The configuration of parameters is also performed with the MobilePlanner software.
The platform is autonomous, but can be monitored and manually controlled through the
MobilePlanner software.
The operation of this software, as well as the downloading of the map to the platform, is
covered in the Mobile Robot Software Suite User's Guide.
Other setup, mostly for communication, is handled with the SetNetGo OS, which is accessed
through the MobilePlanner software. It can also be accessed through a direct connection, so
your IT support can set up your wireless without needing the MobilePlanner license.

Maintenance Ethernet Connection

To prepare your platform for autonomous mobile operation, attach a PC to the platform's main-
tenance Ethernet port, and connect with the SetNetGo OS through the MobilePlanner SetNetGo
interface. If you do not have wireless yet, you can connect MobilePlanner through the wired
Ethernet port (Maintenance LAN) and set up the wireless network later.
The core is preset and tested on a Class-C network (netmask for all ports 255.255.255.0). The
Maintenance Ethernet port is set to IP address 1.2.3.4 and the wireless IP comes set with an
AP-based ("managed") SSID of "Wireless Network", unsecured. Consult with your network
systems administrator before modifying these network details through the SetNetGo OS.
The User LAN port is set to IP address 10.10.10.10.
Refer to the Mobile Robot Software Suite User's Guide.
The Maintenance Ethernet plugs into the left side of the platform, under the small access panel
at the upper right corner of the platform. (The joystick port is also there.) The access panel is
held in place with a push-push latch, and retained by a lanyard. See Figure 8-1. This is intern-
ally connected to the Ethernet port located on the rear side of the LD platform LD platform core
in the payload bay.
The Maintenance Ethernet port is permanently set to IP address 1.2.3.4, with a netmask of
255.255.255.0, for direct, wired access to the onboard systems. Access to the SetNetGo OS is
