HMI Interface Board Software Updater and Firmware Download Procedure
Connect to a Network Without a DHCP Server
System firmware is loaded into the HMI Interface Board(s) via a computer using an Ethernet connection.
When the computer is connected to a network without a DHCP Server, the HMI Interface Board(s) and the computer
must be manually configured with distinct static IP addresses.
If the HMI Interface Board(s) has been configured with a different static IP address (other than the default HMI Interface
Board Static IP 169.254.0.10.), choose an appropriate static IP address for the computer (within the same subnet as the
HMI Interface Board(s)).
The HMI Interface Board and the computer must both be configured with distinct IP Addresses in order to communicate.
Configure a Static IP Address using Windows XP
1. From the Start menu, click Settings>Network Connections>Local Area Connection.
2. Click the General tab, and click Properties.
3. Under the General tab, scroll down and select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click Properties.
TIP To have more than one HMI Interface Board connected on the same network where there is no DHCP Server, all HMI Interface
Boards must be configured with distinct Static IP Addresses.
This process must occur before the drive is connected to the common network. Failure to do so results in conflicting HMI Interface
Boards with the same IP address.
