CD24-R8

4.0.2 Using DHCP

If you cannot install DeviceInstaller on your PC, or do not wish to, you
can also get access to the CD24-R8 using a standard DHCP server. In

most cases you will need to have administrative privileges to do this.

1. Install and start the DHCP service on your PC.

2. Connect the CD24-R8's ETHERNET port to the the PC's network

interface, either using a crossover Ethernet cable or through a

network switch or hub. Using a hub, you can connect several
CD24-R8s to the same PC and configure them all at the same

time.

DHCP will not work through routers or across the Internet. All
the devices need to be on the same network segment as the PC.

3. Monitor the DHCP server to find out what IP address it gives to

each digitiser.

4. To configure a device, enter its IP address into a web browser.

4.0.3 Configuration with the Web interface

Once you have access to the WiPort-NR's Web interface, you can

configure it with its proper settings.

1. The Web page is divided into three. A menu on the left

switches between pages of configuration options on the right.

There is also a banner at the top, which tells you the current
firmware revision and the MAC address.

To navigate around the Web site, click on the entries in the left-

hand menu. When you have made changes to the settings on
any page, save them by clicking OK before you leave the page.

2. The WiPort-NR has two serial channels, exposed on TCP ports

10,001 and 10,002. The channel connected to port 10,001 is

unused. Channel 2 (port 10002) is connected to the CD24-R8's
digital output, unless you have connected a PC or laptop via

either a serial data cable to the DATA connector or a USB cable
to the USB connector. If either of these connections are

detected, the CD24-R8 will send data streams through that
interface rather than to the WiPort-NR.
