Connection of the device
– configuration
Configuration of the device is possible through free e-CON software, available on the
manufacturer's website (
https://www.pce-instruments.com/english/download-win_4.htm
).
Access to most configuration parameters is also available from the device's website via
the embedded HTTP server.
5.3.1. Connection of the monitor to the network equipped with a DHCP server
The easiest way to connect the
PCE-HT 422
monitor
t
o the Ethernet network is to
use an existing DHCP server in the network, which assigns the communication
parameters to the devices connected, i.e. IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS
address. In order to use the automatic configuration with DHCP server, make sure the
monitor is running with
DHCP client service enabled - to do this, switch on the power of
the monitor and observe the initial messages:
a) message about the monitor operation with DHCP
client enabled – the displayed IP address is the current
address of the monitor acquired from DHCP server;
b) message about the work of the monitor with disabled
DHCP client service - the displayed IP address is the
current address of the monitor set manually or the default
address (after restoring the default parameters); in order
to obtain the address from the DHCP server, restore the monitor to the factory parameters,
point 5.2, and restart the device - then a) message should be displayed with the IP
address obtained from the DHCP server.
In order to further configure the device a computer (tablet, phone) must be
connected to the same Ethernet network (also with DHCP client enabled - automatic
acquisition of IP address), open a web browser and in the browser address field type the
IP address displayed by
PCE-HT 422
. This will display the login screen to log the web server
that will allow further configuration - sign up to the administrator account, p. 5.6.3.2.
After gaining access to the full configuration we recommend that you disable the
DHCP client, leaving the acquired network parameters unchanged – IP address, subnet
mask, gateway, DNS address will be stored as static parameters.
