Ethernet Configuration and Remote Programming
ETHERNET SETUP PROCEDURE
6.4
There are three ways to setup the Ethernet network in the Asterion series power
supply.
•
Network setup using DHCP Server
•
Network Setup using Auto-IP (Direct Connection between Asterion power
supply and PC using Cross cable)
•
Network Setup using Static IP
The network setups are described in the subsections that follow. Use the Setup
procedure that applies to your system and application to configure the Ethernet.
NOTE: When connecting your Asterion DC power supply to a network, it is strongly
recommended to use Linksys® hubs or switches, which have undergone extensive
compatibility testing with the Ethernet interface.
Network Setup Using DHCP Server
6.4.1
For this network setup to work, DHCP mode must be enabled. DHCP mode can be
enabled using the front panel or the serial interface.
6.4.1.1
DHCP
MODE SELECTION USING FRONT PANEL
Navigate to Home Control Interface LAN LAN Configure. Make both DHCP
and Auto-IP as ON to use the DHCP mode of operation, See Figure 6-2.
NOTE: If DHCP server is not available and Auto-IP is enabled, the unit can assign
itself an IP address in the Auto-IP (dynamic link local addressing) range.
NOTE: In DHCP mode of operation, if Auto-IP is Off and DHCP server is not available,
the IP address will default to 0.0.0.0. See Figure 6-3. This configuration is not
usable for network connection.
