Aalborg SDPROCs - Manual (Page 48)

i.2.2 DNS
DNS, Domain Name System enables individual computers and devices to be recog-
nized over the network base on specific name instead of an IP address. For example,
instead of having to use http://192.168.1.19 (which is device IP address), we can use
only http://sdproc or any eight characters name stored as the Host Name in the
SDPROC. By default each device shipped with Host Name: sdproc.
NOTE: It is very important to communicate with the network administrator in
order to assign correct settings for the IP address and DHCP mode on the
SDPROC. The SDPROC is shipped with a default static IP address of
192.168.1.19 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0
i.2.3 IP Address
Every active device connected to the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address.
The IP address is divided into two portions, the network ID and the host ID. The
SDPROC is shipped with the default IP address set to 192.168.1.19 and Subnet Mask
of 255.255.255.0.If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access
the SDPROC using its default IP address, make sure that the PC from which you are
establishing the connection has an IP address that is in the same range as the
SDPROC's IP address (192.168.1.X, where X may be any number from 1 to 254).
NOTE: Make sure your PC's Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
If the factory default address is already in use on your network, use the serial inter-
face command IPC (see section h.3) in order to modify the IP address.
i.3 Configuration
The SDPROC with TCP/IP interface can be used and configured in two ways, depend-
ing on user's preferences and network setup. It can be used in Telnet simulation mode
where it emulates serial communication operation and accepts all serial software inter-
face commands (see section h.3), or directly from a Web browser, like Internet Explorer
or Netscape.
NOTE: The SDPROC is shipped with default configuration for HTML Web server.
In order to change configuration to Telnet console use the serial interface
command TLN with argument 1 (see section h.3 for details). The new mode of
operation will take affect on the next power up.
When all required configurations are made, connect the SDPROC to the network and
power it up. Use your PC that is connected over the same network and from the MS-
DOS Prompt window type “ping 192.168.1.19” (use proper IP address if the device
was reconfigured). This proves that the connection is proper and you can access
SDPROC using the Web browser or Telnet.
