Configuring an Ethernet Module (E-Series)
NOTE: This section applies only to Ethernet SeaI/O (E-series) modules.
For all other SeaI/O modules, refer to the Configuring a “Base”
SeaI/O Module and Configuring Expansion Modules sections on
the previous pages.
Verify that SeaMAX has been installed successfully and that an Ethernet SeaI/O
module is connected to your computer. This module will become the “base” module.
All Ethernet SeaI/O (E-series) modules are shipped with DHCP enabled. When you
first connect an Ethernet SeaI/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 Ethernet SeaI/O module will default to a random
IP address in the range 169.254.x.x. To discover the Ethernet SeaI/O module’s IP
address, start the Ethernet Config utility (Start Æ All Programs Æ Sealevel
SeaMAX Æ Ethernet Config) installed with SeaMAX.
Click on the “Search for SeaI/O Devices” button and the ‘Available SeaI/O Devices’
pane should refresh with any Ethernet SeaI/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.
