The system can be set-up, calibrated and operated either through the built-in Webserver or through an optional
front panel display. The menu structure above may be followed using either interface.
Using the Webserver
To use the Webserver, a connection must first be established between the Hardy Gateway Module and a connect
PC. The following steps will assist in establishing a connection:
1) Connect an Ethernet cable between the RJ45 port located on the front of the HI 6600 Gateway Module’s
RJ45 and a PC then power up the instrument. A cross-over cable is not required, but can be used.
2) The instrument will auto-negotiate settings suitable for a variety of operating systems and network
configurations. Wait approximately 15 seconds and check to see if the green light of the Ethernet port is
on and blinking – if so, skip to step 8 – you are connected.
3) If the green light on the Ethernet port does not light up, use the Optional Display to check that the unit’s
Enable DHCP is turned off and follow steps 4 through 8 If an optional display is not available, please call
Hardy Tech Support for further assistance.
4) Using the unit’s Fixed IP address (the default is 192.168.000.100), the PC must now be assigned a unique
IP address (for example, 192.168.000.101)
There are two simple rules for the IP Address:
•
It must have the same network identifier as the computer.
•
It must have a different node identifier than the computer.
5)
On a PC running windows, open Internet Properties (TCP/IP).
Click in the ‘Use the Following IP Address’ checkbox; then enter the following into the TCP/IP Properties
dialog.
•
IP Address = 192.168.0.101
•
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.000
6)
Select OK on the TCP/IP Properties dialog box. The computer is now configured.
7)
Enter the HI 6600 HGM’s IP address into the Windows PC Web browser to access the embedded web
browser. For example: http://192.168.000.100
NOTE Additional information for setting up communications between the Gateway Module and the
PLC, DCS, or PC is under Network Communications (Chapter 6).
