8 BOOTCODE AND FIRMWARE UPDATE 8.1 INTRODUCTION

In the case of relay that has updated previously its Bootcode (Sections 2), the IP address already has been assigned in the
previous process (see figure 8-14).
In both cases, it is necessary to check that there is no other equipment connected with the same IP address in the same
net, to avoid collision.
In case of a back-to-back connection from a PC to the relay (through a crossover Ethernet cable), the IP address of the
relay needs to be compatible with the TCP/IP configuration of the computer.
For example, if the relay settings are:
IP address: 192.168.37.240,
Netmask: 255.255.255.0 and
Gateway: 192.168.37.10.
The computer settings have to follow the model:
IP address: 192.168.37.XXX
Netmask: 255.255.255.0 and
Gateway: 192.168.37.10 (if desired).
XXX is a number between 0 and 255 that is not assigned to any other device to avoid collisions.
If there are not TCP/IP settings according to this model in the computer, it should be added (in order to communicate with
the relay) following these steps:
Go to the Control Panel of the computer and select the Network option (the name of this option may depend on the PC
operative system).
