Connecting a PC or Laptop Computer
To access the console using the Web Browser interface,
connect a PC to the console through either the Ethernet
port or the COMM 1 serial port. If the console is connected
to a local network, you can perform this setup from any
PC on that network by using a web browser, such as
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Mozilla’s FireFox, or Safari
for a Mac.
Note: The PC or laptop will recognize this serial
connection as a network connection and will
not allow the use of a Local Area Connection
simultaneously. While it is not necessary to
disconnect the Local Area Connection to connect
using the Serial port, it will be necessary to
disconnect the Serial Connection through the
computers operating system in order to use the
Local Area Connection again.
The following instructions are written specifically for
Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system. For assistance
with other operating systems, please contact Franklin
Fueling Systems Technical Services.
Connecting a PC to the TS-550 evo Ethernet Port
1. Using an Ethernet Crossover, 10 Base-T cable,
plug the RJ-45 connector on one end of the cable
into the Ethernet port of the console.
2. Plug the RJ-45 connector on the opposite end
of the cable to the Network Interface Card of the
computer.
3. Power up and log onto your PC.
Note: You may need to re-configure your TCP / IP settings to
allow the computer to communicate with the console.
Note: Some modern laptops have automatically switching
Network Interface Cards and as such, will require the
use of a standard cat 6 cable instead of a crossover.
Configuring IP Settings for Communication
Before attempting to modify any computer settings, contact
the Information Technologies department of your business,
if available. Some computer accounts may have restricted
permissions to overcome before any changes are allowed
to be made to TCP / IP settings.
At the PC:
1. Power up the PC and log into your Windows
operating system.
2. Click on Start, then select Control Panel.
3. There are (2) two views settings possible when
using Windows 7:
• In Category View, click on Network and Internet,
then click View Network Status and tasks under
Network and Sharing Center.
