cable has been crossed over.
No cross-over cable is required for connecting a Cleverscope to a PC Ethernet port.
The Cleverscope can be operated with either a Fixed IP address or as part of a DHCP network (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol), in which case it will automatically acquires an address in the correct internet protocol
address range.
The simplest use is as part of a DHCP network. Most modern routers and all servers offer a DHCP server
function.
You can also use Fixed IP (Internet Protocol) Addressing, which is useful when you do not have a DHCP server,
or are connecting to a remote Cleverscope connected at some other location.
Cleverscope Ethernet relevant items
The Cleverscope is set by default to work as part of a DHCP network.
When it is plugged into a network, the two lights on the Ethernet connector show status
The Connected LED shows that the Cleverscope has connected to the network. The Transmit/Receive LED will
flash whenever packets of data are transferred. Once the Cleverscope has triggered, the Transmit/Receive LED
will flash once per second, as the Cleverscope application polls the Cleverscope to make sure it is still connected
If the Connected LED is not on, there is a problem, and the Cleverscope will not talk to the Cleverscope
application. Please resolve the connection first.
The Cleverscope acquire selected section
The serial number is only required if you use the Find by Serial Number
option. The serial number can be found on the CAU back label.
The panel includes values for the following:
This will be reported after clicking on the Cleverscope to connect to in
Cleverscope devices found on the local network. For fixed IP addressing, it is
the IP address to use.
This is the reported MAC address
This is the TCP port used for communications. The default is 53270.
Reports any PC NIC adaptors found. If there are more than one, and the
Cleverscope is not connected to the master, the CscopeUDPService.exe will
be run to share UDP messages over all the adaptors.
The Cleverscope hardware configuration section
The panel buttons are used to choose the type of connection used by the connected Cleverscope Acquisition
Unit (CAU), and are as follows:
Set Auto addressing (DHCP)
Click the button, with a CAU selected, and the CAU will be programmed to
use DHCP addressing for all further connections.
Click the button, with a CAU selected, and the CAU will be programmed to
use a Static IP address, using the IP address value entered in the
Cleverscope
acquirer selected
section.
Click the button, with a CAU selected, and the CAU will use the TCP Port
given for further TCP transactions.
