Operation

Select [Use the following IP address]. The IP address and Subnet mask text boxes can now be edited.

Enter an IP address for the PC. This IP address will need to be unique to the PC (different to any other device
on the network) but still allow communication on the same subnet that the drive is set to. To set up the PC
IP address in this way enter the first three values of the IP address box to be identical to those set in IP_1,
IP_2, and IP_3 parameters on the PositionServo drive. For the last value (IP_4) pick a unique value different
to any other device on that network.

If the drive IP address has been left at its factory (default) value then a logical IP address to assign to the
PC might be 192.168.124.1

When exiting the IP address box the value in the subnet mask text box should default to 255.255.255.0.
This value tells the PC that all other devices on the network share the same values for the first 3 Octets of
their IP addresses with the last octet beginning unique to those devices. Typically the default value can be
left unchanged unless a larger network needs to be specified.

NOTE
If the PC and drive need to obtain an IP address from a DHCP enabled server then the [Obtain an IP
address automatically] option should remain ticked and no values should be present for either the IP
address or subnet mask.
