5.6.2. Changing the name of a base station
To make it easier to distinguish multiple base stations, it‟s possible to assign a name to
base stations. This can be done by editing the text field besides the „Set Name‟ button and
pressing this button afterwards to store the name inside the base station.
5.6.3. Configuring the Ethernet settings
To setup the base station for use within an existing network its DHCP configuration, IP
address and subnet masks need to be configured.
To prevent IP address conflicts when a base station is connected to a network, DHCP is
enabled by default. On most installations a fixed IP address setup will be recommended.
If DHCP is used, make sure the DHCP server always assigns the same IP address to the
same base station.
Before IP and DHCP settings can be changed, the base stations need to be found on the
network. If no DHCP server is available the IP address of a base station defaults to
192.168.100.100 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0. If a DHCP server is available, then the
base station can be found using an external tool called XTAdminXXL, which is included in
the „Tools‟ folder of the installation.
The base stations are clearly identifiable under ‘OPTICON SENSORS EUROPE, BASE
STATION, XT-NANO-XXL- F0’.
To configure the network settings of the base station, use telnet with the found IP address
(i.e. C:\>telnet 192.168.0.17)
or press „Telnet‟ in XTAdminXXL.
