AMETEK PLA-PLW - Manual (Page 67)

Note: Because the DHCP server assigns a dynamic IP address, the value of the eLOAD IP address maybe different
each time you power on the eLOAD. However, if you intend to remotely control the eLOAD, a static IP address is
more convenient, as the eLOAD IP address does not change, making it easier for remote devices to access the
eLOAD
If your network does not support DHCP server, you must enter the Ethernet settings manually which you obtained
from your network administrator.
Note: The following procedure presumes that your eLOAD has the Ethernet option and you have connected the
eLOAD to your network.
If your network does not support DHCP server, do the following:
1) Power on the eLOAD
2) Press the LOCAL key on the front panel, and rotate the encoder 43 to scroll to the “SYSTEM” menu option.
3) Press ENTER to select.
4) Choose “ETHERNET” and Press ENTER to select option.
5) Select “ADDRESS” and press ENTER to select option.
6) Enter the IP address obtained from your network administrator and press ENTER.
7) Choose “NETMASK” by rotating the encoder 43 to scroll and press ENTER to select option.
8) Enter the value obtained from your network administrator and press ENTER.
9) Choose “GATEWAY” by rotating the encoder 43 to scroll and press ENTER to select.
10) Enter the default gateway IP address obtained from your network administrator and press ENTER
To Exit, press LOCAL to go back to the start-up screen
USB FUNCTION

included in a CD-ROM shipped with your eLOAD .
After your USB driver is installed, the USB port is converted to a virtual COM port. Refer to the “Verify Installed
USB Driver using Hyper Terminal (Windows XP/2000/98)” section for detailed procedures on how to verify the
USB driver.
