always enabled on this interface, and does not require a password or a license. Accordingly,

when accessing the port, manually set the offboard computer’s Ethernet to an IP 1.2.3.x, where

x is any number 1 through 254 except 4, and with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. No special DNS

or gateway settings are needed.

Attach a pass-through or cross-over CAT5 (or better)Ethernet cable between the PC and the

Maintenance Ethernet port of the platform. The platform Ethernet is Auto-MDIX, and will

detect the type of cable you are using.

Start the Network Connections:Local Area Connection dialog for the ETH 0 Ethernet port:

(Windows) Start > Settings > Network Connections > Local Area Connection

Select Properties, and, from its dialog, scroll to and double-click the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

option. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog, click both ‘Use the following…’ asso-

ciated radio buttons to enable them, and then type in the IP and netmask values.

Setting Up Wireless Ethernet

The SetNetGo OS is used to configure the wireless Ethernet, among other things. Refer to the

Mobile Robot Software Suite User's Guide for details.

NOTE:The AIV can work without wireless Ethernet. If there are no other AIVs that

it needs to know about (and avoid), you can have an installation in which the AIV

simply uses its map, knows its patrol route, and performs without human inter-

vention.

NOTE:For all of the following settings, work with your IT group to verify the cor-

rect IP, radio, and security settings.

The following applies to the wireless Ethernet supported by the platform.

Access the SetNetGo OS through the MobilePlanner software:

MobilePlanner >SetNetGo >Networking

NOTE:You can use a web browser to connect directly to the SetNetGo OSon a plat-

form. This allows your IT support to set up the network for you, without using

MobilePlanner which requires a license.

IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, DNS1

Choose Static (DHCP is not recommended), and fill in the IP address, netmask, gateway, and

DNS1, as supplied by your network administrator.

NOTE:See your IT department for the following settings.
