The RT outputs its data over Ethernet using a UDP broadcast. The use of a UDP
broadcast allows everyone on the network to receive the data sent by the RT. The data
rate of the UDP broadcast is 100 Hz or 250 Hz depending on the RT model.
In order to communicate via Ethernet, each RT is configured with a static IP address that
is shown on the delivery note. If the delivery note is unavailable, the default IP address
normally takes the form 195.0.0.sn, where sn is the last two digits of the RT’s serial
number. The serial number can be found on the front panel of the RT or on the delivery
note.
The IP address of the computer being used to communicate with the RT may need to be
changed so it matches the subnet. For example, 195.0.0.200 should be available since
this IP address is never used by the RT by default.
To change the IP address of the computer, follow these steps (applies to Windows
Vista/7/8):
1. Open the Control Panel from the Start menu.
2. In category view, select Network and Internet and then Network and Sharing
Centre.
3. Select Change adapter settings in the side panel.
4. Right-click the Ethernet option and select Properties.
5. In the window that opens, navigate the list to find Internet Protocol Version 4
(TCP/IPv4). Select it and click Properties.
6. In the TCP/IPv4 Properties window (Figure 13), select Use the following IP
address and enter the IP address and subnet mask to use.
7. Click OK when finished.
