Basler Electric DGC-2020 - Manual (Page 120)

If the LSM-2020 is operating on an isolated network, the Subnet Mask can be left at 0.0.0.0 and the
Default Gateway can be chosen as any valid IP address from the same range as the LSM-2020 IP
address.
3. Click the Send to Device button located on the Configure Ethernet Port screen. A confirmation popup
will be displayed notifying the user that the LSM-2020 will reboot after settings are sent. Click the Yes
button to allow settings to be sent. After the unit has rebooted and the power-up sequence is
complete, the LSM-2020 is ready to be used on a network.
4. If desired, LSM-2020 settings can be verified by selecting Download Settings and Logic from the
Communication pull-down menu. Active settings will be downloaded from the LSM-2020 and DGC-
2020. Verify that the downloaded settings match the previously sent settings.
5. Connection to the DGC-2020 can be made through Ethernet via an LSM-2020 with properly
configured network settings. When making a new connection to the DGC-2020, the Ethernet
Connection option shown in Figure 4-5 will allow the user to enter the IP address of the LSM-2020
with which to connect. The Ethernet button under Device Discovery, Scan for Connected Devices,
allows automatic detection of any LSM-2020 devices connected to the local network.
NOTES
The PC running BESTCOMSPlus software must be configured correctly to
communicate with the LSM-2020. The PC must have an IP address in the
same subnet range as the LSM-2020 if the LSM-2020 is operating on a private
local network. Otherwise, the PC must have a valid IP address with access to
the internet and the LSM-2020 must be connected to a properly configured
router. The network settings of the PC depend on the operating system
installed. Refer to the operating system manual for instructions. On most
Microsoft Windows based PCs, the network settings can be accessed through
the Network Connections icon located inside the Control Panel.
Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP SP1 contain a potential bug that might
prevent device discovery from functioning properly. This issue might present
itself if the PC running BESTCOMSPlus has more than one network interface
card. See Microsoft KB article 827536 for more information.
Firmware updates to the LSM-2020 are made through the Ethernet port.
Firmware updates to the DGC-2020 are only available through the USB port of
the DGC-2020.
Establishing Communication
Communication between BESTCOMSPlus and the DGC-2020 is established by clicking on the Connect
button on the DGC-2020 Connection screen (see Figure 4-5) or by clicking on the Connect button on the
lower menu bar of the main BESTCOMSPlus screen (Figure 4-1). If you receive an “Unable to Connect to
Device” error message, verify that communications are configured properly. If communication is
established, BESTCOMSPlus will read all settings and logic from the DGC-2020 and load them into
BESTCOMSPlus memory. See Figure 4-12.
