Teledyne GFC-7001T - Trace CO Analyzer - Manual (Page 144)

CommunicationsTeledyne API – Model T300/T300M CO Analyzer
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 144
The analyzer is shipped with DHCP enabled by default. This allows the instrument to be
connected to a network or router with a DHCP server. The instrument will automatically
be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server (Section 6.5.2). This configuration is
useful for quickly getting an instrument up and running on a network. However, for
permanent Ethernet connections, a static IP address should be used. Section 6.5.1 below
details how to configure the instrument with a static IP address.
6.5.1. CONFIGURING ETHERNET COMMUNICATION MANUALLY (STATIC
IP ADDRESS)
To configure Ethernet communication manually:
1. Connect a cable from the analyzer’s Ethernet port to a Local Area Network (LAN)
or Internet port.
2. From the analyzer’s front panel touchscreen, access the Communications Menu
(SETUP>MORE>COMM).
3. Enter the Ethernet menu (INET), follow the setup sequence as shown in Figure 6-4,
and edit the Instrument and Gateway IP addresses and Subnet Mask to the desired
settings.
Alternatively, from the computer, enter the same information through an application
such as HyperTerminal.
Table 6-3 shows the default Ethernet configuration settings.
Table 6-3: LAN/Internet Default Configuration Properties
PROPERTY DEFAULT STATE DESCRIPTION
DHCP
ON
This displays whether the DHCP is turned ON or OFF. Press
EDIT and toggle ON for automatic configuration after first
consulting network administrator.
INSTRUMENT IP
ADDRESS
This string of four packets of 1 to 3 numbers each (e.g.
192.168.76.55.) is the address of the analyzer itself.
GATEWAY IP
ADDRESS
0.0.0.0
Can only be edited when DHCP is set to OFF.
A string of numbers very similar to the Instrument IP address
(e.g. 192.168.76.1.) that is the address of the computer used
by your LAN to access the Internet.
SUBNET MASK
0.0.0.0
Can only be edited when DHCP is set to OFF.
Also a string of four packets of 1 to 3 numbers each (e.g.
255.255.252.0) that identifies the LAN to which the device is
connected.
All addressable devices and computers on a LAN must have
the same subnet mask. Any transmissions sent to devices
with different subnets are assumed to be outside of the LAN
and are routed through the gateway computer onto the
Internet.
TCP PORT 1
3000
This number defines the terminal control port by which the
instrument is addressed by terminal emulation software, such
as Internet or Teledyne’s APICOM.
