In  this  chapter,  we  will  introduce  the  basic  usage  of  CANWiFi-200T  and  the  related 

hardware and software installation settings. You can quickly grasp the usage of it and 

have an intuitive understanding of the network and CAN device communication through 

our introduction. 

Before using the CANWiFi-200T device, we need to know the network parameters such 

as  device  IP  address.  CANWiFi-200T  device  supports  two  ways  to  obtain  the  IP 

address,  including 

“Static  Acquisition”  and  “Dynamic  Acquisition”.  “Static  Acquisition” 

means that the device uses 

“IP Address”, “Subnet Mask” and “Gateway” specified by 

users; 

“Dynamic Acquisition” means that the device uses DHCP protocol to obtain the 

information such as IP address, subnet mask and gateway from the DHCP server on 

the network. 

3.1 Device IP Factory Setting 

The default IP address of CANWiFi-200T device is 192.168.0.178. 

3.2 Connect and obtain Device IP 

When users forget the device IP address or the device uses DHCP protocol to obtain 

the IP address automatically, the current device IP can be obtained through ZNetCom 

software.   

ZNetCom  software  is  the  configuration  software  of  CANWiFi-200T  device  running  on 

the Windows platform. No matter what the current CANWiFi-200T device IP is, you can 

obtain  the  current  device  IP  through  ZNetCom  software  and  configure  the  IP.  Use 

ZnetCom software to obtain the CANWiFi-200T device IP as follows:   

1. Connect the hardware to power up the device with 9~24V DC power supply, and 

use a crossover cable to connect the LAN port of the device to the PC network port. 

In addition, when the WLAN of CANWiFi-200T operates in the AP mode and the LAN 

port is not connected, users can search and find the 

“CANWiFi-200T” device via the 

network  interface  card  of  PC,  as  shown  in  Figure  3-1.  The  PC  wireless  network 

interface card is set to automatically obtain IP, and input the password of "12345678" 

when connection.
