Ethernet conguration
Ethernet conguration via peer-to-
peer Ethernet connection
FH Flyer marking heads are now pre-congured at the factory to a xed address of 192.168.100.100. This
allows you to make a peer-to-peer Ethernet connection and eliminate the need for an isolated USB con-
nection in order to congure Flyer’s Ethernet network settings.
The procedure described below may require the assistance of your IT Department because your computer’s
Ethernet settings are determined by your facility’s computer network. This procedure requires a connec-
tion to a computer with a static IP address that is not connected to a local network. To setup Flyer for the
Ethernet using a peer-to-peer Ethernet connection, perform the steps in the following sections:
Set your computer’s static IP address
1
Disconnect the computer from your local network.
2
Turn o Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP), if enabled, and create a static IP address for
your computer.
Note: The exact steps may vary depending on your operating system.
a
From the Start menu, go to Settings and choose Network Connections.
b
Double-click on the appropriate Local Area Network (LAN).
c
Locate the LAN’s Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties.
d
Select “Use the following IP address:” and enter the following information:
IP Address: 192.168.100.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
e
Click OK to submit the changes.
Connect to the Flyer marking head
1
Connect the Flyer head to your computer using an Ethernet crossover cable.
2
Power up the Flyer head and wait 30 seconds for the head to boot-up.
3
Open WinMark Pro and in the Devices menu, click Connect to Ethernet Flyer.
4
Enter Flyer’s default Ethernet IP address, 192.168.100.100, in the dialog box and click OK.
Congure Flyer’s Ethernet network parameters
1
On the Tools menu, select General Settings… , and then click the “Device” tab.
Note: We do not recommend using Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP). Under the DHCP
scheme, Flyer’s IP address and DNS name will change each time the head is turned o for a time
period that exceeds the DHCP lease.
