Applanix POS MV V5 Installation And Operation Manual page 103

Initially, to communicate with the PCS, you must give the controlling PC a unique address within the
same subnet. Applanix recommends using address 192.168.53.101.
IP addresses consist of four sets of numbers separated by full stops
(e.g. 192.168.53.100). The first three sets of numbers are the network
part of the address and the last set of numbers is the host part. For
example, 192.168.53 are the default value for the PCS network IP
address and 100 is the default value for the PCS host.
To be compatible with a network the first two sets of numbers in the IP
addresses of all items attached to the network must be the same.
Once communication with the PCS is established you can change the IP address of the PCS to any
suitable address within your subnet. The IP address of the controlling PC may also be reset back to the
original setting. The following paragraphs provide instructions on doing this.
Running the MV-POSView Controller Program
Check the MV-POSView Controller program main window (illustrated in
Figure 40 on page 5-3) for update activity; the window should update at one-second intervals. If not,
check that the LAN light, located on the front panel of the PCS, is flashing green.
Changing Address
It is unlikely that the default IP address of the PCS will be compatible with your local area network.
Therefore, you must change the system IP address before you can exercise control over the POS MV.
Follow the instructions below carefully, noting that you must begin all menu selections from the main
window of the controller.
a) Power-on the PCS, open Windows
b) On the MV-POSView menu bar, select Tools, Connect.
c) The tool bar shows the current IP address of the PCS Ethernet connection (this address may not
be compatible with your network). Make a written note of this address so that you can change the
address of the controlling PC temporarily to a compatible one. This must be done before you can
communicate with the PCS through the LAN.
d) In MV-POSView, select F ile, E xit ( or press the Alt, F4 keys) to exit MV-POSView.
e) Select the configure option from the Ethernet driver software included with your Windows
environment.
