Configuring the AccuLoad.net for Ethernet Communications
• Power up the AccuLoad (wait for AccuLoad to complete initialization)
• Press <Enter> at the Ready screen to access the Main Menu
• From the Main Menu, select Program Mode Menu and press <Enter>
• Enter the Access Code when prompted and press <Enter>
• From the Program Mode menu, select System Directory then Press <Enter>
• From the System Directory, select 700 Communications Directory
• Select Host Interface and press <Enter>
• From the Host Interface Menu set the following items:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Net mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.10
Ethernet Control: Poll and Program
Comm Link: Level 3
• Return to the Main Menu using the <Clear> key
Note: If using the AccuLoad.net’s Ethernet port, make sure that none of the AccuLoad.net serial communications ports are configured to the
‘SLIP (TCP/IP)’ function – configuring a SLIP connection will disable the Ethernet connection.
It is recommended that the AccuLoad.net be installed to a private network (not connected directly to the rest of the
corporate LAN). This is best implemented by adding a second network interface card to the PC that will be interfaced
to the AccuLoads. This dual-interface PC can be set up as a ‘bridge’ allowing all the other PCs in the corporate
environment to reach the AccuLoad devices (given permission to do so) but will prevent all other corporate LAN
traffic from interfering with the AccuLoad.net communications.
