Operation

It is most common for the PositionServo drive IP address to be left at its default value (192.168.124.120)
and to configure the PC Ethernet port to communicate on this subnet. If more than one drive needs to be
connected to the PC at any one time then the IP_4 parameter can be accessed via the keypad and changed
to provide a unique IP address on the network for each drive. Note that IP_4 is the only octet that can be
changed (IP_1, IP2, and IP_3 are read-only) and that power must be cycled to the drive for any changes to
take effect.

If the PositionServo drive(s) needs to be configured for a specific subnet with different values to default (for
IP_1, IP_2, and IP_3, and IP_4) then this needs to be performed with the MotionView configuration tool.
First establish communications using the default drive address or with an address that was established by
changing IP_4 parameters via the drive keypad. Follow the rest of these instructions in order to establish
communications and launch MotionView using this address. Once within the MotionView software a full IP
address can be assigned.

From the Node tree within MotionView select the [Communications] folder and then the [Ethernet] sub-folder
as shown herein. The settings reflect those that will appear in the software parameter view window.

The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address can all be edited in this screen. If the text in any
of these boxes turns red once it has been entered then this means that the values or format used is invalid
and the values will not be applied.

To enable DHCP, click the box adjacent to [Obtain IP Address using DHCP] to place a check mark in this box
R

. To disable DHCP, click the box again. Power must be cycled for any changes to [Configure IP Address] to

take effect. On changing any ethernet parameter value, the following dialog box will appear. Click [Ok] and
cycle power for changes to take effect.
