3.4.27 Network Menu
Main Menu Communications Menu Network Menu
The Network Menu only appears when the Network Port is enabled in the Hardware Menu (refer to
Section 3.4.30). The Network Menu allows the user to view or set the IP Address, Netmask and
Gateway if the optional network port is installed.
The following modes are available:
NORMAL: In this mode nothing is done with the network port
during boot-up. It is assumed to be configured correctly or
unused.
READ IP: This mode interrogates the network port for its IP
address. The menu will display the network address after boot-
up.
SET IP: The user may enter an IP address, Netmask and
Gateway address (following the usual rules for formatting these
addresses). At this time the instrument does not validate the
correctness of these entries. When you cycle power, the
instrument will first instruct the network port on its new
address. It will switch to Read IP mode and read back the
address it just set so the user may verify it in the menu.
Set DHCP: This sets the network port into DHCP mode, allowing
the network to assign the instrument an IP address.
IP Address
[Read or Set mode]
This is the current IP address of the instrument.
Netmask
[Read or Set mode]
This is the subnet mask of the network the instrument is
connected to.
Gateway
[Read or Set mode]
This is the IP address of the router to access addresses not on the
same subnet.
Adaptor is in DHCP mode
[DHCP mode]
In this mode the instrument will ask for its network parameters
from a DHCP server on your network.
Sets the protocol used for the network port (Advanced, ModBus,
EC9800 or Bayern-Hessen). This must be set to Advanced for
Ecotech supplied software.
Select Little or Big endian mode for ModBus protocol.
To read the IP address, perform the following steps:
1. Set the instrument to Read IP.
2. Manually cycle power off.
3. Wait three seconds.
4. Turn power on.
5. Read or set the IP address.
