LAN Setup with Gateway Access to Internet
In internet access scenarios, a network adminstrator usually assigns TCP/IP parameters. Configuring for
this scenario is identical to that of scenario 2 (Private LAN Setup), with the following exception: The
internet access scenario requires the gateway address to be set to the address of the gateway (router) device
that handles routing to the internet.
*Acquisition Device refers to ChartScan, TempScan, or MultiScan. Two of these devices (in any
combination) can be connected to the Net232 via PORT 1 and PORT 2.
Make Ethernet Connections
You may want to review the four basic network scenarios before making connections to
the ethernet. These are discussed in the preceeding section of this guide, Identify your
Network Scenario, beginning on page 7.
1. Ensure your acquisition device power switch is in the “0” (OFF) Position.
2. Ensure Net232’s power switch is in the “0” (OFF) position.
3. If connecting Net232 to an ETHERNET Hub :
(a) connect a “straight-through” 10BASE-T ethernet cable (CA-192-5) to the ethernet hub
(b) connect the other end of the cable to Net232’s ETHERNET Port
