PR 5230 Instrument Manual Commissioning
Sartorius EN-97
That means:
-
'DHCP' is activated.
- ‘Host name’ is initialized e.g. PR5230-6B6A5E (instrument type-MAC ID).
Example of MAC ID: 00-90-6C- 6B-6A-5E
This ensures that a valid address for identification of the instrument in the network can be assigned to the
instrument, see Chapter 5.6.6.
Note:
The last 3 bytes of the MAC ID are displayed. A label with the complete MAC ID is fitted to the
outside of the device.
An device set to ’active’ DHCP (default/factory setting) and connected to an IT network
(company network) with a DHCP server does not require further actions except for a
2...3-minute waiting time. Subsequently, a network connection is established automatically
(device <-> workstation/PC).
Temporarily connected notebooks/PCs must have the following network adaptor properties (DHCP/DNS
automatic):
PR 5230 can be operated only, if a Notebook/PC is connected!
For commissioning, the first network contact is possible only by finding the IP address/subnet mask under
DHCP ’on’ (factory setting) automatically.
5.3.2.1 MAC ID
The MAC ID or (6-digit) hardware address, e.g. 00-90-6C- 6B-6A-5E, is a unique number for identification of
any network adaptors.
A label with the complete MAC ID is fitted inside the instrument door.
Due to the last 3 bytes, the initialized host name is always unique.
