3.3.7 Ethernet connection
The analyzer can communicate with AMS Machinery Manager using an Ethernet cable. To
use an Ethernet connection with AMS Machinery Manager, do the following:
• Set the connection type on the analyzer and review the Ethernet settings in the F5
Comm Setup menu.
• Set the connection type in AMS Machinery Manager.
After the connection is setup, use the Connect For Transfer option in the analyzer's programs.
WARNING!
Do not use Ethernet in a Hazardous Location.
Connect to a remote AMS Machinery Manager server
Remote users of the analyzer can use an Ethernet connection to the CSI Data Transfer
Service running on the AMS Machinery Manager server. When the analyzer connects to the
CSI Data Transfer Service, all communication is driven from the analyzer. Enter your AMS
Machinery Manager user name and password to access the database list. For further
information concerning the CSI Data Transfer Service, please contact technical support.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP is an Internet protocol that automates the configuration of computers that use
TCP/IP. DHCP automatically assigns IP addresses to deliver TCP/IP stack configuration
parameters, such as the subnet mask and default router. DHCP also provides other
configuration information.
To use Ethernet with your analyzer, use DHCP or a static IP address. Check with your
Information Technology department to see if DHCP is supported. If your workplace does
not support DHCP, your Information Technology department needs to provide you a valid
IP address, sub mask, and gateway.
Connect to AMS Machinery Manager using Ethernet
Your Ethernet settings depend on your local networks. You may need information and
assistance from your IT department. Your computer must have two Ethernet connections.
If it does not, use a router or a switch.
WARNING!
Do not use Ethernet in a Hazardous Location.
Prerequisites
Ensure you set the connection type on the analyzer.
