eI/O Manual 27
Verify that SeaMAX software has been installed successfully and that an eI/O module is connected
directly to your computer using the yellow crossover cable supplied with your module.
All eI/O modules are shipped with DHCP enabled. When you first connect an eI/O module to the
network, the status LEDs on the front of the module will blink while it searches for a DHCP server.
Once it receives an IP address, the status LEDs will remain on.
If no DHCP server is available, the eI/O module will default to a random IP address in the range
169.254.x.x. To discover the eI/O module‟s IP address, start the Ethernet Config utility (Start  All
Programs  Sealevel Systems  SeaMAX  Ethernet Configuration Tool) installed with SeaMAX.
Click on the “Search for SeaI/O Devices” button and the „Available SeaI/O Devices‟ pane should
refresh with any Ethernet or Wireless SeaI/O and any eI/O modules that are found on the network.
Select one of the modules in the list by clicking on it. You can update the settings in the Device
Network Settings pane and then confirm these changes by clicking the “Apply Changes” button.
The module list should refresh, indicating that your changes were successful.
Start MaxSSD (Start  All Programs  Sealevel Systems  SeaMAX  MaxSSD Configuration Utility)
and choose the correct IP address to communicate with the eI/O module. Ensure a successful Get
operation (refer to the MaxSSD section of this manual for more information).
