Configuring the network settings
A second way to change the network settings is by using the program vdh_conf. If you
want to install it, run the setup.exe program in the vdh_conf folder on the Alfanet
installation CD.
Start the program and press the `Scan' button to search the network for connected
interfaces. Make sure that the controllers are connected to the same network as the PC.
Use a standard straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable, depending on how the
interface has been connected. Use a straight-through cable if the interface is connected
to a switch and a cross-over cable if the interface is connected directly to the PC.
After the interface has been found, you have to select it in the selection list, after which
you can change the network settings. Enter the password in the password field and press
the `Set' button to send the settings to the interface. The default password is admin.
You can also change the password by entering a new password in the `New Password'
field and confirming it again in the `Confirm New' field. Press 'Change password' to
change the password.
IMPORTANT:
** Only select the DHCP setting if there is a DHCP server.
** Consult your network administrator for the correct settings.

Time synchronisation
After the software has been installed, the internal clock of the interface has to be set to
the correct time. To set the right time, Alfanet must be started up. Then go to the control
screen of the Alfanet program (second icon from the left) and click `Sync time' on the
`Panels' tab. The clock now is synchronised with the time of the PC used for
synchronisation.
The time can also be synchronized automatically. Enter the address of a NTP server
(internet time server) in het network menu in. On the proba network the VASP server is
configured as a time server with address 192.168.250.250.
2.6
Entering the access code
When entering the access code choose the desired value for the digit with the up or down
keys. Press set to enter the next digit. When four correct digits are entered the chosen
action is executed. When a incorrect value is entered the code '0000' is redisplayed and
you can try again.
