Connecting the Terminals to Ingress
DETERMINING TERMINAL NUMBER
Identify the number of your terminals to differentiate them between one another. In-
gress can connect up to 999 units of terminal. Press Menu > Options > Comm Opt > Dev
Num > Select the number.
USING TCP/IP
IP address is important, as it is a unique address of the terminal in LAN. Without the IP
address, locating the specific terminal is not possible.
To input the IP address of the
terminal: Press Menu > Options > Comm Opt > IP Addr > Key in IP address.
USING TCP/IP
It is important to setup the Ethernet to connect the terminals using TCP/IP connection.
Setting up the Ethernet is done by enabling the Ethernet function: Press Menu
> Options > Comm Opt > Ethernet > Yes.
Turn off the terminal after you have set the Ethernet setting to Yes. Now, plug-in the
network plug to the Ethernet interface and turn the power on.
Determining the Netmask, Gateway and NetSpeed: For TCP/IP connection,
please configure the netmask, gateway and netspeed for the terminal.
Press Menu > Options > Comm Opt > NetMask > Insert the numbers.
Press Menu > Options > Comm Opt > Gateway > Insert the numbers.
Press Menu > Options > Comm Opt > NetSpeed > Choose the speed of your Ethernet
connection.
USING RS232 CONNECTION
For connection via RS232,baudrate is the determinant of communication speed be-
tween the terminal and the software. The higher the baudrate, the faster the speed is.
To turn on RS232 connection and set the baudrate: Press Menu > Options >
Comm Opt > RS232 > Change the RS232 connection to Y.
To change baudrate: Press Menu > Options > Comm Opt > Baudrate > Change the
Baudrate accordingly.
USING RS485 CONNECTION
For connection via RS485, baudrate is also the determinant of communication speed
between the terminal and the software but the speed must be according to the speed
of the converter. Check your converter for the speed.
To turn on RS485 connection and set the baudrate: Press Menu > Options >
Comm Opt > RS232 > Change the RS485 connection to Y.
To change baudrate: Press Menu > Options > Comm Opt > Baudrate > Change the
Baudrate accordingly.
