Connecting via Ethernet
You may use the ethernet connection using any one of the following 3 supported
configurations:
1. The TA700/800 connected to a network via a hub, switch, or similar device.
2. The TA700/800 connected to the host computer (machine running the
application software), via a hub, switch or similar device.
3. The TA700/800 connected directly to the host computer using a crossover cable.
Connecting to a Network
When connected to a network the TA700/800 must communicate with the DHCP
server to establish a connection. The DHCP server will continually send the next
available IP address to the TA700/800 until the TA700/800 software is started.
When the user starts the software, the user may be prompted if they wish the software
to automatically use the offered IP address or if they wish to assign a specific IP
address (the assigned IP address needs to be on the same network segment as the host
computer). The menu also allows the user to save the selected option (automatic or
specific address). If the assigned IP address is not available, the OS will notify the
user of an IP address conflict.
After the user clicks ‘OK’ the software will search for all TA700/800 units connected
to the network, and will display a list of available TA700/800 units. After the user
selects the desired TA700/800 unit, the software will assign the IP address to the
selected unit, completing the connection and will launch the software.
