8.5 Connect the A6560R CPU to AMS Machinery
Manager
The A6560R CPU must be connected to AMS Machinery Manager through an Ethernet
connection to transfer data for storage or analysis. Both the unit and the computer must
be configured with an IP address in the same logical network.
Procedure
• To connect to AMS Machinery Manger on a laptop, connect a standard Ethernet
cable (included) from to the unit's Hub port to the computer.
• To connect to AMS Machinery Manager network server on a Local Area Network,
connect a standard Ethernet cable from your network to the unit's NIC port.
8.5.1 IP addresses for network configuration
IP addresses are unique addresses that systems on a network use to communicate with
each other.
Example IP addressesTable 8-3:
A6560R CPU module 192.168.0.10
Computer 192.168.0.1
Notes
• The IP addresses shown are defaults. If two or more A6560R will be used, each should be
given a unique IP address.
• Depending on the computer network IP addresses may require subnet masks. Transient
extraction may fail without them. See Specify a subnet mask.
In short, the A6560R must “know” its server address, and the computer must “know” the
IP address of any A6560R.
8.5.2 Set the computer's IP address
Follow your operating system's instructions for changing the computer's IP address before
connecting a laptop to an AMS 2600.
Procedure
1. Make a note of your computer's current settings.
2. Change the IP address assigned to the computer Ethernet port to the address
expected by the AMS 2600.
