DECS-150 Communication
Configurable Ethernet options include:
IP Address: Internet Protocol Address to be used by the DECS-150.
Default Gateway: Default host to send data destined for a host not on the network
subnet.
Subnet Mask: Mask used to determine the range of the current network subnet.
Use DHCP: When this box is checked, the IP Address, Default Gateway, and
Subnet Mask are automatically configured via DHCP. This can
be used only if the Ethernet network has a properly configured
DHCP server running. The DECS-150 does not act as a DHCP
server.
5. Obtain the values for these options from the site administrator if the DECS-150 is intended to
share the network with other devices.
6. If the DECS-150 is operating on an isolated network, the IP address can be chosen from one of
the following ranges as listed in IETF publication RFC 1918, Address Allocation for Private
Networks.
• 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
If the DECS-150 is operating on an isolated network, the Subnet Mask can be left at 0.0.0.0 and the
Default Gateway can be chosen as any valid IP address from the same range as the DECS-150 IP
address.
Note
The PC running BESTCOMSPlus software must be configured
correctly to communicate with the DECS-150. The PC must have an
IP address in the same subnet range as the DECS-150 if the
DECS-150 is operating on a private, local network.
Otherwise, the PC must have a valid IP address with access to the
network and the DECS-150 must be connected to a properly
configured router. The network settings of the PC depend on the
operating system installed. Refer to the operating system manual for
instructions.
On most Microsoft Windows based PCs, the network settings can be
accessed through the Network Connections icon located inside the
Control Panel.
7. Click the Send to Device button located on the Configure Ethernet Port screen. The DECS-150 is
now ready to be used on a network.
8. If desired, DECS-150 settings can be verified by selecting Download Settings and Logic from
Device from the Communication pull-down menu. Active settings will be downloaded from the
DECS-150. Verify that the downloaded settings match the previously sent settings.
Ethernet Connection
1. Connect the DECS-150 to the PC using a standard Ethernet cable.
2. Apply operating power to the DECS-150.
3. In BESTCOMSPlus
®
, click Communication, New Connection, DECS-150, or click the Connection
button on the lower menu bar. The DECS-150 Connection window appears as shown in Figure
20-3.
