Configuring Network Parameters With The Apex Software; Configuring A Tcp/Ip Network - Thermo Scientific APEX 100 User Manual

Configuring Network
Parameters with the
APEX Software
This section tells you how to use the detector's built-in operating software to configure
your network using the detector's communications menu and functions. This section—
please note—does not tell you how to reconfigure the hardware settings for your Modbus
Communications Card. This is covered in the "Configuring the Modbus Hardware" section
on page 341.
Please verify which type of Modbus Communications Card is installed in your APEX, and
make sure that it matches the type of network (TCP/IP or RTU) are configuring. Then go
to the appropriate section for detailed instructions about configuring your particular type
of network.
• For a TCP/IP network, go to the next section (below).
• For an RTU network, see the instructions on page 335.

Configuring a TCP/IP Network

This section tells you how to use the APEX software to modify the communication
parameters for a TCP/IP network. You can set the following parameters using the APEX
communications menu.
• Dynamic host-control protocol (on or off)
• IP address
• Subnet-mask address
• Gateway address
