the SG-20 Discovery, as well on the small Ethernet module inside the Discovery,
mounted next to the Polaris scanner. The first three bytes of the Ethernet
address are fixed (e.g. 00-20-4A), identifying the unit as a Scantech-Ethernet
product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes represents a unique number assigned
to each unit. Sample Ethernet Address: 00-20-4A-52-4B-19 or
00:20:4A:14:01:18.
6.2.3
DHCP
The SG-20 Discovery/Ethernet is shipped with a default IP address set to
0.0.1.0, which automatically enables DHCP within the Discovery. Provided a
DHCP server exists on the network, it will supply the SG-20 Discovery with an IP
address, gateway address and subnet mask when the SG-20 boots up. If no
DHCP server exists, the Ethernet board inside the SG-20 Discovery will respond
with a diagnostic error: the red Diagnostic LED blinks continuously and the
green Status LED blinks five times.
IMPORTANT NOTE
In July 2003 the Discovery has undergone an update. See
document ‘Technical Product Update Discovery’ dated July 2003
for more details. At the new Discovery with hardware P/N from
A360104 onwards the major Ethernet parameters (IP addresses
etc) can also be configured by using the buttons on the Discovery
terminal itself, so without a remote utility or a Telnet session etc.
See Section 6.4 “Configuring the Discovery using the buttons”.
