Set the following parameters:
Select ‘Use the following IP Address’. The IP address of the PC can be almost anything but
an arbitrary value of 192.168.0.100 is chosen.
The Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
The Default Gateway and DNS server address should be 192.168.0.1. This setting is based
on the original IP address selected.
Select OK when the values have been entered and then close and exit.
Connecting the ASC to a Local Area Network
Make a connection between the Ethernet port of the ASC and the host network router.
Ensure the host PC running the DS8 application is registered on the network.
Set the ASC to
Auto IP Address
and note the address displayed. Alternatively note the Host
Name that will be ELE-ASC01 as a default. This should be changed when multiple ASCs are
on the network and is accessed via the Diagnostics & Miscellaneous, Network Set-up menu.
The ASC number can be changed from 1 to 99 to modify the Host Name from ELE-ASC01 to
ELE-ASC99.
Configuring the Ethernet Comms
Ensure a connection has been made between the Ethernet port on the ASC and the network
router or PC. Confirm the flag in the
Auto IP Address
box is ticked for a connection via a
router and note the IP address displayed. This IP address should then be entered in the DS8
application in order for the connection to the ASC to be made.
Note: When the ASC has been successfully established on the network the solid white
symbol and IP address will become green.
On certain networks, where settings permit, the ASC may be able to register with the Host
Name ELE-ASCnn. If further ASC machines are added to the network their addresses can
then be set with incremental numeric values.
