Use a switch or crossover cable to connect the starter to the SR55.
Start the Ipconfig software. Press the Scan button to have the PC scan for an SR55. The
IPconfig utility will automatically find the SR55 units on the network.
If the SR55 is not found, click on the Settings button, then choose “Broadcast from a specific
Network Interface Controller.” This could be required if there are multiple network cards on
the PC. Click OK, then Scan for SR55 units again.
Below shows a screen capture of an SR55-077 and an SR55-242 daisy chained from one to
another.
Select the Anybus module in the window and double click on it. This will bring up a window to
set the network settings to values appropriate to the network that it will be running on.
It is very highly recommended to set DHCP to OFF. Otherwise, the Ethernet address of the
SR55 could be changed by a DHCP server at a future time. Setting DHCP to OFF will ensure
that the SR55 maintains the same IP address.
