Configuration and Operation
LD8 Operations Manual AB-V-MA-00635_RevA2 21
4.5 ETHERNET CONFIGURATION
Network connectivity to the LD8 is essential for configuration and implementing changes. The following
subsections detail some commands to assist with checking and changing the present IP address if required.
If no connectivity via Ethernet is available, the commands can also be sent through the Serial
COM ports.
4.5.1 CHECKING IP AND SUBNET STATUS
To check the current IP settings of the LD8 enter the command below:
IP and subnet settings will be returned, proceeded by ETHA, within quotation marks as highlighted below:
IPSTATUSA,WCOM1_30,0,65.0,FINESTEERING,2043,203989.000,02008020,7fe2,14970;2,
ETHA,"192.168.1.123","255.255.255.0","192.168.1.1",WIFI,"192.168.19.1,"255.255.
255.0","",1,"0.0.0.0"*d9d1437c
4.5.2 SETTING A STATIC IP
The LD8 is preconfigured with a static IP of 192.168.2.8, however this IP address can be changed to a different
static IP address.
The command to change to a static IP follows the structure of:
IPCONFIG [interface_name] [address_mode] [IP_address] [netmask] [gateway]
IPCONFIG ETHA STATIC 192.168.2.8 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
4.5.3 CHANGING IP TO DHCP
The LD8 can be assigned an IP address via DHCP. If changing to DHCP use the IPSTATUSA command to
determine the newly assigned IP address.
Changing the IP address mode to DHCP will require verification of any newly assigned IP
address, which must be performed through connection to one of the three COM ports.
To automatically assign a dynamic IP to the LD8 use the below command:
To change the unit back to a static IP simply follow the instructions in section ‘Setting a Static IP’.
