Setting up Your Optional ETH1 Ethernet Module
Your ETH1 module requires some configuration before you can begin using it. To configure your
ETH1 module, you need to make a few changes to the Setup.ini file on your SD card. Network
Setup is required to use your ETH1 Ethernet Module. The other sections are optional.
Network Setup
To set up your network connection, you may need to change the
IP_Address_Method setting in the Setup.ini file
Your PQube supports two different methods to get network information.
DHCP is the automatic method used on most modern networks and the
default for your PQube. If your network supports DHCP and you use the
Use_DHCP setting, simply plug in your PQube and it will get the network configuration automatically.
If your network doesn’t support DHCP, change this setting to Use_Fixed_IP and fill out the [Fixed_IP]
section.
Your PQube displays its IP address when connected to a network. This allows you to easily access
your PQube’s Web Server without searching for your IP address elsewhere. This is useful if you are
using DHCP.
Email Setup
Creating an e-mail account for your PQube
Your PQube needs its own email account in order to send email. This is because your PQube is an
email client, just like your computer.
PQube.com email address
Your PQube comes with its own PQube.com email account! By default, all of the email server
information is already filled out for you.
If you need to re-enter your PQube.com email information, follow these steps:
Go to the Email & Filter tab in the PQube Configurator program
Enter your PQube’s serial number in the PQube Serial Number field.
Click the Generate PQube.com e-mail account button and the program will automatically
fill out your email server settings.
