Connecting the BPM-E Using the Ethernet Port
When you connect to the BPM-E using the ethernet port, you use the WebTool
software to setup the BPM-E. You do not need to install the WebTool software
because it is part of the BPM-E firmware.
Note: You must have Java runtime installed before you can use the
WebTool software.
The setup in this section should be performed only by a person who thoroughly
understands IP and network setup protocols.
Note: If you are connecting to a network, before you begin, do the
following:
•
Contact your IT professional to get the subnet mask values for
your network and to determine whether or not your network
has a DHCP server.
•
Inform your network administrator that the BPM-E will use port
10001. The network administrator might need to open this
port before you can set up the BPM-E.
1. Install the Java runtime environment (refer to See “Setting Up the BPM-E”
on page 19).
Note: Perform this step if it is not already done.
Note: To use the WebTool software, your PC must have the Java run-
time environment (java virtual machine v1.4.2 or later) installed prior to
connecting the BPM-E to an ethernet device. If you do not have the run-
time environment, you can download it from the web at www.java.com
or from the Bird Technology web site (www.bird-electronic.com). For
information about downloading the Java 2 Runtime Environment, refer
to the readme.txt file that was provided with your unit.
2. Apply operating power to the BPM-E, refer to "BPM-E Data Connections" on
page 17).
3. Follow the ethernet setup flowchart (Figure 13, page 23) to complete the
installation.
CAUTION
Network connections require specific address and protocol information. Have a
qualified IT or network professional perform the BPM-E ethernet setup. Failure to
comply may result in loss of network communication or the inability to
communicate with the BPM-E.
WARNING
Dangerous RF voltage. Do not connect or apply an RF signal to the BPM-E
during equipment setup. Failure to comply may result in severe burns, loss of
use of limbs, or death.
WARNING
Do not connect RF power to the unit.
