Network Configuration
All IMx-T units must have an identity number between 1 and 255, unique to the
database to which it is connected. It also requires network settings and the IP number
and port number of the @ptitude Observer Monitor or Analyst IMx Service to which it
should be connected.
Keep in mind that most of the time, all IMx-T units are on the same network and
database, therefore units can NOT have the same IP address or the same unit ID.
The network configuration is done through;

There are two ways to configure a network and ID configuration:
·
·
by Hardware Switches
If you have decided to configure the network manually by hardware, the following logic
must be fulfilled.

SKF Multilog On-line System IMx-T
User Manual, Revision F
For Observer clients, On-line Device Configurator under SKF @ptitude
Monitoring Suite. For detailed information, refer to @ptitude Observer On-line
Device Configurator User Manual.
For Analyst clients, Multilog IMx Configurator in Admin Tools under SKF
@ptitude Monitoring Suite.
by Software: is configured by the software via On-line Device Configurator or
Multilog IMx Configurator.
by Hardware Switches: is done by configuring HEX rotary switch manually.
The factory default configuration TCP/IP address is 10.0.0.1XY
The network configuration requires you to set the first three part of the IP
address at Create IMx/MasCon16 Config screen of On-line Device Configurator
or Multilog IMx Configurator.
However, the last part of the IP address will be controlled by the HEX rotary
switch on the IMx-T unit. For example, 10.0.0.1XY, where XY will be derived
from the HEX rotary switch.
