7.1.2 Determining the sensor's IP address
Below is a description of how to determine the sensor's IP allocated in the Ethernet network.
This is required if the IP address was assigned by DHCP, in the event the information on stati-
cally set IP address is no longer available or if the sensor display is out of sight. In general,
there are 2 options for identifying the IP address.
INFO
IP address in USB connection is 169.254.2.1 and cannot be edited.
Option 1: IP address query via mDNS
Instruction:
a) Open a browser.
b) Enter the following command in the browser address line:
IDC200-[identifier].local
Replace [identifier] Replace [Kennung] by the 8-digit article number or the MAC address
specified at sensor.
Replace IDC200 by part of the sensor identifier preceding the hyphen"-".
Both information can be seen on the sensor label.
Example: IDC200-J381.10.X-0128-413.local or
IDC200-11-22-33-44-55-66.local
INFO: If only one sensor of the family is connected to network or PC, this identifier
can be omitted. In this case, the sensor is accessible under IDC200.local.
Result:
ü The device opens the web interface.
Option 2: IP address query via ping command
a) In Windows, select Start | Search.
b) In the search bar, enter the value cmd.
ü The Prompt window opens.
c) Execute the following command: ping IDC200-[identifier].local
Replace [identifier] by the eight-digit part number or the MAC address specified on
the sensor.
Replace IDC200 by the part of the sensor identifier preceding the hyphen "-".
Both specifications can be found on the sensor label.
Example: ping IDC200- J381.10.X-0128-413.local or ping
IDC200-11-22-33-44-55-66.local
Result:
ü You are provided with the sensor's IP address (in the example: 192.168.0.250):
"Ping is being executed for IDC200- J381.10.X-0128-413.local [192.168.0.250] with 32
bytes of data"
The sensor might not be accessible by PC though having entered the sensor's IP address. In
this case, allocate a new IP address to your PC (see Allocating an IP address to the PC [}36]).
Make sure to allocate your PC an IP address that is close to the sensor's IP address, e.g.:
n
IP address of PC: 192.168.0.251
n
IP address of sensor: 192.168.0.250
