Elise3
4.5.1 Access via Network
It is recommended that the Elise3 always gets the same IP address if it communicates with
other equipment, to prevent it from losing contact with the equipment after a restart.
Inform the network administrator about the MAC address and ask to reserve a fixed IP
address via DHCP for this Elise3. Write the IP address on the blank label, found on the back
side of the Getting Started document and attach the label on the front side to facilitate
future access. See
NOTE: If NetBIOS is enabled in the network, the address elise-XXXXXXXX can be used when
accessing the Elise3 via the network, where XXXXXXXX is the module key number.
The module key number can be found on the license certificate or on the label on the
back of the Elise3.
Pre-condition: You have access to the network that Elise3 is attached to. If not, see
Access via Management Port
1 Connect the module to the LAN.
2 Enter the Elise3's IP address or elise-XXXXXXXX, where XXXXXXXX is the module key
number (leading zeros can be excluded).

4.5.2 Access via Management Port
The management port can be used when Elise3 has not got a valid and unique IP address or
when the IP address has been changed, i.e. if Elise3 has been moved from one network to
another. It gives access to the Elise3 without having access to the customer's network.
Figure 17. Connection via Management port
NOTE: The reserved IP address for accessing Elise3 via the management port is
"192.5.36.229". Additionally, a port driver needs to be installed on your computer to
get access via the management port. The driver is located on the Elise3.
The default mode for the management port is Network access but Mass storage is used to
get the required driver for the Elise3. When set to Mass storage, the Elise3 will automatically
change to Network access within 10 minutes. By pressing the Mode button twice, the
Management port toggles from Network access to Mass storage and the other way around.
The Mass storage mode is only used when the driver, required for accessing the Elise3 via
the management port, shall be installed. This is only needed the first time the computer is
used for this purpose.
1 Connect a mini-USB type B cable between the USB port on your PC and the
management port on the module.
NOTE: If the required port driver is not installed on the computer, install it now. The
installation differs dependent on the operating system, see either
