3.7.1 Factory default IP addresses
When a PGC5000 Generation 2 analyzer is shipped from the factory, the default IP address of the
primary Network Interface Card (NIC) is 192.168.99.99 and the IP address of the secondary NIC is
0.0.0.0.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the customer has requested specific IP addresses, these will be configured
at the factory.
When the analyzer arrives at the customer site or Integration House, connect a PC or laptop running a
STAR Client directly to the primary port of the analyzer and power up the analyzer. When the analyzer
boots up, the PGC5000 Generation 2 will appear in the device list of the STAR Client where you can
display the configured IP addresses. To launch an RUI, the laptop must be on the same subnet (i.e.,
192.168.99.xx) as the analyzer. From the RUI you will be able to change the IP addresses to the site
specifications. Once the changes have been made with the correct IP addresses, a Network Save
operation will save the IP addresses and reboot the analyzer. The STAR Client will see the new devices
appear in the list with the changed IP addresses.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once the analyzer is rebooted, you will not be able to reconnect to the
analyzer with an RUI unless you change the laptop IP address to the same subnet as the analyzer.
3.7.2 All analyzer versions
The PGC5000 opens the following ports, which must be opened through network gear and firewalls:
⎯ 58921 TCP – Communication Port
⎯ 58921 UDP – Utility Port
⎯ 502 TCP – Modbus
The PGC5000 Generation 2 analyzer supports standard Ethernet connectivity. After the connections
are physically attached and verified, configure the analyzer in accordance with network policies.
A Master Controller’s LUI can be temporarily replaced with the RUI of another PGC5000 Generation 2
analyzer on the same network. This feature is particularly useful when working with an oven with
Integrated Controller.
The Network Connect button is an icon showing two boxes connected by a green line and is located in
the system information bar at the bottom left of the display (see Figure 3-9). If you launch the RUI
from the STAR Client, the IP Address will appear in the box next to the Network Connect button.
