‘Peer to Peer’ Connection
To allow direct (non-network) interaction between the web interface program
and any laptop or PC connected to it, a ‘Peer to Peer’ connection must first be
established. This requires disabling the ‘Proxy Server’ from the system, allowing
direct IP addressing (Internet Protocol - TCP/IP) between the laptop/PC and the
SN-W/E interface unit. The following instructions detail how to set the IP address
of the SOLOnet instrumentation (static addressing) from within a Windows XP
operating System and how to disable the ‘Proxy Server’ from ‘Internet Explorer’.
• From the Windows XP desktop, click ‘Start’ and ‘Settings’.
• Choose ‘Control Panel’.
• Double-click on ‘Network Connections’.
• Identify the network adapter in use (typically ‘Local Area Connection’).
• Highlight and right-click on ‘Local Area Connection’.
• Choose ‘Properties’.
• Highlight ‘Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)’.
• Click ‘Properties’.
• Select ‘Use the following IP address’.
• Enter the IP address given with the SOLOnet SN-WE interface unit and
add 1 to the last number of the IP address,
ie. 10.1.30.178 (SOLOnet IP address)
10.1.30.179 (IP address to be entered).
• Set the ‘Subnet Mask’ to 255.255.0.0 (default) or identical to the SN-W/E
and ensure that the ‘Default Gateway’ is blank.
• Click ‘OK’ and ‘OK’ again.
• Close ‘Control Panel’. The settings are automatically applied.
To disable the ‘Proxy Server’ option;
• From the ‘Start’ menu, select ‘Internet Explorer’.
• Click the ‘Tools’ tab.
• Choose ‘Internet Options’.
• Click the ‘Connections’ tab.
• Click on ‘LAN Settings’.
