Set The Ex1629 To Static Ip; Restore The Host Pcs Network Settings; Using Multiple Network Cards - VTI Instruments EX1629 User Manual

Set the EX1629 to Static IP

1) Disconnect all network connections from the PC except for the connection between the PC
and the EX1629.
2) Apply power to the EX1629 and wait for the LAN LED to turn green.
3) Discover EX1629 using the LInC-U utility as described in the Web Page Operation in
Section 5. The steps taken previously should ensure that discovery works.
4) Once connected to the embedded web interface, click on the Network Configuration link in
the command menu.
5) Select the Static checkbox in the IP Address Source field and ensure that DHCP and
AutoIP are not selected.
6) In the IP Address field, enter an appropriate IP address for the EX1629. Use the IP address
obtained the Determine PCs Network Settings step to determine the network address. The
network address is the first three digits of the IP address (10.1.0 in the example provided).
The last digit of the IP address (the node), is a number, 0 through 255, that is not currently
assigned to any other device on the network. Ensure that a unique IP address is assigned to the
EX1629 by consulting a network administrator.
7) In the Subnet Mask field, enter the subnet mask in the Determine PCs Network Settings step.
8) In the Gateway Address field, enter the same gateway address in the Determine PCs Network
Settings step.
9) Click Submit to save all changes made to the Network Configuration page.

Restore the Host PCs Network Settings

1) Power down the EX1629 and reconnect it to the LAN in its desired location.
2) If the PC was originally set to use a static IP address, use the procedure in Determine PCs
Network Settings to change the PCs IP address back to its original state.
3) Power on the EX1629 and wait for the LAN LED to turn solid green.
4) Discover the EX1629 using VTI's LInC-U as described in Web Page Operation in Section 5.

Using Multiple Network Cards

When multiple network cards exist in a single PC, it may be necessary to define a static IP address
to both the host PC NIC card that will interface with the EX1629 mainframe as well as the
EX1629 itself. This process is only necessary if a DCHP server is not connected to the network to
which the device is connected and typically occurs when the NIC is connected directly to the
instrument.
