Click the “Options <<” button to return to the login window. Enter the name of the Gateway Module
(see Table 3 for the default name) as shown in Figure 4. Click “Connect”.
Note that the option checked in Figure 5 above allows the Gateway Module to view the disk drives on
the local computer (running the Remote Desktop Connection). A warning may be displayed to this
effect. Since the Gateway Module is not fitted with a CD-ROM drive, this option allows the Gateway
Module to install software from a CD-ROM drive on the local computer. Click “OK” on this warning.
The Remote Desktop should now appear, showing the Windows XP login window with a banner at the
top to control access to the Remote Desktop window. Enter the username and password configured for
the Gateway Module (see Table 3 for the default username and password). A Remote Desktop window
appears, looking exactly like a Windows XP desktop except for the top control banner. This banner
may be set to auto-hide in a similar manner to the Windows task bar, and the user may minimise,
restore or close the window.
3.1.2. Ethernet Network Configuration
The first step is to configure the Gateway Module Ethernet ports 1 and 2 to communicate with the
installed networks. Note that for use as an OPC server, one network must connect to the Trusted
TM
Communications Module and the other network must connect to the OPC client.
Within the remote desktop window, open Control Panel and select Network Connections. Right-click on
the Ethernet port to be configured, and select Properties. Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”, and
click Properties. Select “Use the following IP Address” and enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Default Gateway (if any). An example is shown in Figure 6. Click OK twice to close all the dialog
boxes. Repeat for both Ethernet ports. Do not reboot.
