CRANEX Novus e 3. Installing the unit
Connection methods
The unit can be connected to the PC in two ways,
Direct connection or IP based connection.
Both of these connection methods allow the unit
to be used in either a Standalone or a Network
Confi guration.
Direct Connection
Direct Connection is a connection method based
on the unit serial number for establishing a
connection between the unit and the PC.
Direct connection is not based on IP protocol but
instead utilizes a proprietary Ethernet protocol.
NOTE:
In some confi gurations the PC fi rewall or other
network devices may prevent direct connection
from operating. Direct connection requires traffi c
to be allowed between the PC and unit through
the network devices and the PC fi rewall in
inbound/outbound direction for Ethernet protocol
ID 0x6000. If there are diffi culties with the direct
connection use the IP based connection method
instead.
IP based connection
IP based connection uses IP Protocol to establish
a connection between the unit and the PC. It
requires the IP addresses of both the unit and the
PC to be confi gured correctly.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The default IP address of the unit is:
194.9.227.251 and the subnet mask is fi xed to
255.255.255.0.
The unit offers two alternatives for confi guring
its IP address, Remote and Manual. With the
Remote alternative the unit receives its IP address
from the PC. With the Manual alternative the user
sets the IP address of the unit using the Graphical
User Interface (GUI) of the unit.
It is recommended that Remote alternative is
used when confi guring the IP address of the unit.
However, if problems occur, due to fi rewalls etc.,
use the Manual alternative instead.
