Figure 2.5

Typical IP conﬁguration for a stand-alone laptop when

connected to a sensor; laptop wireless (WLAN) is turned oﬀ

Note: The connection will not work if the computer and the sensor have exactly the

same IP address.

When you have conﬁgured the network settings of the sensor (and/or the computer)

according to the instructions above, you can proceed to test the connection as in-

structed below in Section 2.3.

2.2.3 Conﬁguring a network of sensors

In case you have more than one sensor in a network, the sensor IP addresses have to

be conﬁgured, as the factory default will not work.

If you are connecting the sensor to a factory network, please consult the network ad-

ministrator for the correct settings.

If the network is a stand-alone network with only PR-33’s and one or more computers

with no connection to any other network, then the IP addresses can be chosen rather

freely. One possibility is to number the instruments so that they all have 192.168.33.x

addresses so that every computer and instrument has a diﬀerent number x between

1...254. The subnet mask (or netmask) is in this case 255.255.255.0 (see ﬁgure 2.6).
