PC is able to contact the detector.
Configuration
The first step in deploying a networked FAAST detector is determining the IP address it should use and the method by which the ad-
dress will be assigned. IP addresses can either be assigned statically and programmed into the device or assigned dynamically by
a special server using the DHCP protocol. The FAAST detector supports either method of address assignment. If you are unsure of
the method and address to use, contact your network administrator for assistance.
The PipeIQ software is required to change the network configuration of the FAAST detector. Instructions for IP configuration are shown
below.
1. Start the PipeIQ software application.
2. If you have previously created a project, open it using File -> Open. Otherwise, create a new project using File -> New.
3. Double-click FAAST Device1 from the navigation pane to open the Configuration window.
