11. Network Configuration
To properly configure the Gemini devices on a network it will be necessary to set the
IP addresses of the devices in the correct order otherwise a situation may arise where
a particular device is unreachable. If a device does become unreachable then it may
be necessary to separate it from the rest of the system to undergo fault finding.
Setup on a complex network
The steps outlined here assume that the network consists only of the
computer running the Gemini software, the Gemini Hub and a single
Gemini Profiler. If the system is more complex it may be necessary to turn
off or disconnect ancillary devices in order to simplify the connection and
configuration process. If two Gemini Profilers are in use then it will be
necessary to connect them
one at a time
otherwise communication with
them will not be possible because they will both be using the default IP
address.
To set the IP address of the Gemini System devices:
1. Set the IP address of the computer
192.168.2.100
with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0
2. Change the IP address of the Gemini Profiler from the default value
(
192.168.2.201
) to the desired value. The status information will remain in
the Gemini Software but it will no longer be possible to communicate with the
Gemini Profiler at this point.
3. Set the IP address of the Gemini Hub from the default value (
192.168.2.101
)
to the desired value and close the Gemini Software
4. Set the computer to the desired IP address (on the same subnet as previously set
for the Gemini Profiler and Hub)
5. Restart the Gemini Software and both the Hub and Profiler should now be able
to communicate.
