Appendix G: Computer Setup and Determining the IP address of
your pump station
In order to access your pump station and to integrate your pump and irrigation systems, you will
need to install the software that came with your pump station. Note: Pace will integrate only with
Toro Lynx irrigation systems at this time, though some level of interface is planned for other
irrigation system controls at a future time. This is the CD called the Flowtronex Gateway. Place
this CD in your CD ROM drive. The install program should start immediately but if not navigate to
the CD Rom and run the “Setup.exe” program. This will lead you through the installation process.
If you are integrating your irrigation and pump systems, be sure and select “Install Gateway”.
By default the disk will install the ISSymbol control, required for web access to the pump station.
Connecting to the pump station after the hardware is installed is relatively easy. The first step is
to connect your PC to the network. This simply means your PC will be connected to the LAN side
of the router supplied by Flowtronex. Step 2 is to set the IP address of your PC. This will be the IP
address set in the database settings page of the HMI in order to share information with the
irrigation system controls (Toro Lynx). Note that these IP addresses do not need to match if you
aren’t using the Gateway to interface with your irrigation system, in most cases you will not have
to do any more than plug your computer in to your router using a CAT 5 ethernet cable.
If you plan to interface your pump station controls with your Irrigation controls, then a fixed IP
address for your PC is required to make sure the pump station is able to send data to the PC.
To check/set your computers IP address, go to the Network and Sharing center (Control panel
on Windows XP).
Click Local Area Connection.
