LAN-AD16f
4.1.2
Operation
In the left window of the program screen, all DAQ
systems with a working network connection to the
PC are listed displaying their serial number. The
LAN-AD16f is displayed as "LAN-Base".
When being connected to a network, the device
automatically self-assigns (DHCP) a link-local ad-
dress.
Select a network DAQ system to show the parame-
ters of this device in the TABs on the right.
Settings can be modified by clicking the "Options"
button.
We strongly recommend using the automatically assigned configuration. Manual changes should only
be done by a network administrator.
4.1.3
Notes about TCP/IP
Each participant of the network has his own IP address consisting of four groups of numbers. To guarantee
that a data package arrives at the correct address, this IP address must have been given out only once.
Each IP address contains the network number identifying the net your PC belongs to. Please make sure the
PC and the LAN-AD16f are in the same net, i.e. they have the same network number, to be able to commu-
nicate with each other.
4.1.4
Example configuration for the manual input of the network settings
