96 Cyclone PRO User Manual
CYCLONE PRO
not provided by P&E, is normally used to connect two similar devices such as
a PC to a PC, or a Hub to a Hub. It is a cable that has its receive and transmit
wires crossed over so that the similar devices can effectively communicate
with one another.
With this configuration, it is still important to assign IP numbers to both the PC
and the Cyclone device. Although at first glance it may not seem necessary to
assign a Gateway address in this configuration, the Cyclone was designed to
operate on a network of more than two computers, and therefore it needs to
be programmed with a Gateway address.
Assuming the desktop’s IP number to be 192.168.100.1, this is an example of
the three IP numbers that would need to be programmed into the Cyclone:
IP Number
Gateway IP Subnet Mask
PC 192.168.100.1 none 255.255.255.0
CYCLONE 192.168.100.2 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0
For more information on programming these IP numbers into the Cyclone
device, please see the following section.
9.5 Cyclone IP Setup Via LCD Menu
For instructions on how to configure the Cyclone PRO using the LCD Menu,
please see Section 6.2 - Operation Via LCD Menu (Rev. C Only).
9.6 Cyclone IP Setup Utility User Interface (ConfigureIP)
Before the Cyclone device transacts data on an Ethernet network, it will need
to be configured with the relevant network parameters. The application that
provides this capability is the Cyclone IP Setup Utility (ConfigureIP), which
can be found as part of the distribution software.
This utility is used to configure the Cyclone PRO with network parameters,
and also to update the firmware of the Cyclone PRO.
