2. Connect the RJ45 jack labeled Power to an unused port on the Master.
3. Connect the RJ45 jack labeled Ethernet to an unused port on the Master.
4. Repeat the steps above for each sensor.
See Master 400/800 on page 508 and Master 1200/2400 on page 520 for more information on how to
install a Master.
Software Configuration
Each sensor is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.10. Before you add a sensor to a multi-
sensor system, its firmware version must match that of the other sensors, and its IP address must be
unique.
To configure a Gocator 2375 for the first time:
1. Set up the sensor’s IP address.
a. Follow the steps in Running a Standalone Sensor System on page 39.
b. Make sure that there is no other sensor in the network with the IP address 192.168.1.10.
2. Upgrade the firmware.
a. Follow the steps in Firmware Upgrade on page 82.
3. Set up profiling parameters.
a. Follow the steps in Scan Setup and Alignment on page 86 to set up profiling parameters. Typically,
trigger, active area, and exposure will need to be adjusted.
System Operation
An isolated layout should be used. Under this layout, each sensor can be independently controlled by
the SDK. The following application notes explain how to operate a multi-sensor system using the SDK.
APPNOTE_Gocator_4.x_Multi_Sensor_Guide.zip
Explains how to use the SDK to create a multi-sensor system, and multiplex their timing.
Gocator-2000-2300_appnote_multi-sensor-alignment-calibration.zip
Explains how to use the SDK to perform alignment calibration of a multi-sensor system.
You can find the app notes under the How-to category in LMI's online Gocator resources.
Example code is included with both of the application notes above.
