ACTpro 4000 Operating Instructions
__________________________________________________________________________
Configuration of TCP/IP Networking requires a DHCP or Static IP address.
IP Address
The IP Address is an identifier for the ACTpro 4000 on the TCP/IP network. For a static IP
address, the address should be entered in dot decimal notation with leading zeros e.g. IP
address 192.168.1.25 should be entered as address 192.168.001.025. The network
administrator must provide this information. If DHCP is enabled on the ACTpro 4000, this
menu displays the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. It cannot be edited.
Enable DHCP
DHCP is enabled by default. If a DHCP server is not present or fixed (static) IP address must
be used, then disable this option.
Netmask
The Network Mask is used by the ACTpro 4000 firmware to separate the local subnetwork
address from the rest of a given IP address. The network administrator can provide this
information.
Default Gateway
The Default Gateway (Default Route) is the IP address of the router that connects the
network to other networks or the Internet. The network Administrator can provide this
address.
TCP Port Number 1 and 2
The same TCP Port Number must be configured on the ACTpro 4000 and ACTWin pro/Lite
for the establishment communications. The default port number of 10001 will be acceptable in
all cases where the ACTpro4000 and the PC running ACTWin pro/Lite are on the same
subnetwork. If they are not on the same subnetwork or you are unsure, then the network
administrator should be asked for a suitable TCP Port Number.
A second Port Number is also available for communicating with the ACTpro4000. Any port
number is suitable except the port number immediately above the main TCP port number
(i.e. if the main TCP port number is 10001, do not use 10002).
Network Speed
The ACTpro 4000 supports 100MBits, 10MBits or Auto detection. Speed is set to 100MBits by
default. Setting the speed to Auto detection allows the ACTpro 4000 to negotiate the network
speed on power up.
