DaqLab/2000 Series & DaqScan/2000 Series 947091 Configuring the System for Operation 6-9
STEP 6 – Configure Device Network Settings using DaqIPConfig
Applies only to a LAN (Local Area Network), which has a no DHCP server.
Never set the TCP/IP for the device to be the same as the host computer’s IP address!
Each computer and each device on a dedicated network must have a unique IP address!
If using a LAN (Local Area Network), which has a DHCP server, skip this section and continue
with STEP 7 - Configure and Test the System using the Daq*Configuration Applet (page 6-10).
The DaqIPConfig applet is designed for 32-bit Windows/2000/XP/Vista systems. You can use DaqIPConfig to
change the IP address of the device to be compatible with networks that require fixed IP addresses. As a
precaution, you should always consult with your IT administrator before using the applet to ensure that each
device and host computer connected to the network maintains a unique IP address. The applet is located in the
program group for the associated device and can be accessed from the Windows Desktop via the start menu.
1. Locate the DaqIPConfig Applet.
Locate the DaqIPConfig applet by navigating from
the Windows’ Desktop as follows:
Start Menu Programs IOtech DaqX
Software DaqIPConfig
2. Open the DaqIPConfig Applet.
Click on the DaqIPConfig selection to open the
applet.
3. Select the device that is to have the address
change.
Note: In the above figure there is only one device
to select, i.e., DaqLab/2001.
4. Set the internet protocol (TCP/IP) settings to
be compatible with host computer.
(a) Select the radio button labeled “Use the
following IP address.”
(b) Enter the new internet protocol settings. If
needed, consult your network administrator
for acceptable numbers.
Do not set the TCP/IP to the computer’s IP address!
(c) Click the button.
5. Reboot the device.
The new IP address will not take affect until the device has been powered-off, then powered
back on.
6. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 for other devices in the system.
After configuring the network settings for all devices, proceed to Step 7.
