7. Configure Controller for remote control as follows:
a. If you will be using the provided LEIGHTRONIX WinNET software to control
your Controller, proceed to “Configuring Ethernet Network Host Management”
on page 24.
b. For MINI-T-NET and NET-164 only: if using with any product that has its own
software for controlling the MINI-T-NET and/or NET-164, connect your
Controller’s “COM 1” port to the system via a serial cable.
CONFIGURING ETHERNET NETWORK HOST MANAGEMENT
NOTE: Your PC must have a Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP Operating System in
order to run WinNET software.
The NET Series Controller is designed to interact with a host PC through a
10/100BASE-T Ethernet TCP/IP Network. Two of the most common connection
scenarios are outlined below.
CONNECTING CONTROLLER TO AN EXISTING ETHERNET NETWORK
1. Obtain the following from your technical support personnel or network administrator
and enter into the front panel of your Controller (see “Configuring Front Panel
Settings,” on page 26):
IP address
NOTE: If using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server,
enter the IP address 255.255.255.255. Ensure your DHCP server
is configured to always assign your Controller the same IP
address.
Subnet mask
Gateway address
2. Using a straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect the Controller’s Ethernet
jack to a 10/100BASE-T hub or switch on the TCP/IP network.
3. Ensure the PC from which you wish to control your Controller has been configured
and attached to the TCP/IP network.
4. Ensure your Controller and PC have been properly configured for Ethernet network
access (see “Confirming Ethernet Network Configuration,” on page 25).
