Sending commands using a TCP/IP connection
1. Configure the network settings of a control PC to connect it to the same network as the
SMP300 Series. Connect the control PC to the network with an RJ‑45 cable.
2. Start the DataViewer program (see Start the DataViewer program on page141) and
follow the steps to connect to the SMP300 Series via TCP/IP.
3. On the Communication Setup window (see figure95):
1. Select the TCP/IP tab.
2. Enter the IP address of the SMP300 Series into the Hostname/IP Address field.
3. In the Telnet Port field, enter the port number for the connection.
NOTE: The default telnet port for SIS commands is port23.
4. Click OK. The Communication Setup dialog closes.
The main DataViewer dialog opens and the SMP300 Series responds with a copyright
statement containing the model number, part number, and current firmware version of
the connected SMP300 Series, along with the date (see figure96,
2
).

What is an IP Address?
A full explanation of IP addressing is beyond the scope of this user guide. However, the
following information is enough to get started.
An IP address is a 32‑bit binary number used to identify each device on an Ethernet
network. This number is usually represented by four decimal numbers (each in the range
0to 255) separated by dots, (for example, 198.123.34.240). This is called "dotted decimal
notation".
An IP address is divided into two parts:
• The network identifier
• The host identifier
On a given network, each address must have the same network identifier value, but have a
unique host identifier. There are, therefore, different classes of addresses that define:
• The range of valid addresses.
