Checking the Communications Setup in Your Computer

Note
DISTRIBUTED DIGITAL FAULT RECORDER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Before proceeding with setting up computer-to-DDFR Ethernet communications, you must
check the communications setup in your PC.
New DDFRs are factory configured as follows:
Table 1–2: Default DDFR IP Configuration
IP Address
192.168.2.254
All DDFRs must be reconfigured with your own unique IP Addresses.
This is done as follows:
On the main screen of your PC, click the Start button.
Select Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
The black "DOS" screen will appear.
Type ipconfig, and press Enter
A window similar to the one shown below will appear:
If your ipconfig screen shows a single Ethernet Adaptor, proceed to
section 1.4.2.
If your IP Address is 192.168.2.n, and the Subnet Mask is
255.255.n.0, go ahead and directly Discover the new DDFR (go to
section 1.4.2)
If the ipconfig screen shows more than one Ethernet adaptor, go to
section 1.4.3 and try to detect the new DDFR. If the system does
not detect the new DDFR, follow the procedure shown in section
1.4.4 below.
