Configure the DataSite Unit
The communication parameters for the DataSite unit are configured using DS FloConfig software.
The DataSite unit can communicate using either its serial or Ethernet port. This quick start uses
the serial port to assign the DataSite unit an IP address of 192.168.10.93 and then changes to
Ethernet communication.
Follow these steps to assign an IP address, 192.168.10.93, and configure Ethernet communication
for the DataSite unit.
1. Connect a 1747-CP3
(null-modem) serial cable
between your computer's
serial port and the COM2
port on the DataSite unit.
2. Apply 12V DC power to
the DataSite unit.
3. Launch the DS FloConfig
software.
The path shown may be
different on your
computer depending on
where the software is
installed.
4. Select New Project and
click OK.
TIP
Make sure your computer or laptop is assigned an IP address where the first three octets are the same as
the DataSite unit, 192.168.10.XX. In this quick start, the computer uses a static IP address of
192.168.10.95 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
