Setting Up Wireless Ethernet - Omron LD User Manual

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. Accordingly, when accessing the
port, manually set the offboard computer's Ethernet to an IP 1.2.3.x, where x is any number 1
through 254 except 4, and with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. No special DNS or gateway set-
tings are needed.
Attach a pass-through or cross-over CAT5 (or better) Ethernet cable between the PC and the
Maintenance Ethernet port of the platform. The platform Ethernet is Auto-MDIX, and will
detect the type of cable you are using.
Start the Network Connections:Local Area Connection dialog for the ETH 0 Ethernet port:
(Windows) Start > Settings > Network Connections > Local Area Connection
Select Properties, and, from its dialog, scroll to and double-click the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
option. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog, click both 'Use the following...' asso-
ciated radio buttons to enable them, and then type in the IP and netmask values.

to the Mobile Robot Software Suite User's Guide for details.
NOTE: Although an LD Cart Transporter is capable of working without wireless
Ethernet if there are no other LD Cart Transporters that it needs to know about (and
to avoid), that is the exception. In most cases, wireless Ethernet will be needed.
NOTE: For all of the following settings, work with your IT group to verify the cor-
rect IP, radio, and security settings.
The following applies to the wireless Ethernet supported by the platform.
The SetNetGo OS is used to configure the wireless Ethernet, among other things. Refer to the
