Network Setup Using Auto-IP
For this method, use a VXI-11 compliant discovery program such as National
Instrument’s NI-VISA to discover the IP address assigned to the power
supply. The power supply will assign itself an IP address in the IP address
range from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 with a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0.
NOTE: When connecting your Sorensen unit to a network, Elgar strongly
recommends using Linksys® hubs or switches, which have undergone
extensive compatibility testing with the Ethernet interface.
1. Start with the power supply in the power-off state.
2. Connect a crossover cable from the power supply directly to your PC.
3. If the PC is already configured to obtain an IP address automatically,
skip to Step 4. Otherwise:
a. In Windows click Start, Settings, Control Panel.
b. Click open Network Connections. (For XP, if in the Category
View, click Network and Internet Connections, and then Network
Connections).
