2) Private Local Area Network (LAN) Setup
Private LAN Setup
In this simple LAN scenario, Net232 is connected to a network with several PC’s using the TCP/IP
protocol. These networks typically use a system administrator or network analyst to address TCP/IP issues.
For private LAN setups, requirements are:
1) A unique IP address must be assigned to the Net232 device
2) The first three numbers of the IP address must be the same for all devices on the network
3) The sub-net mask should be set to 255.255.255.0
4) The gateway address can be omitted
Example
TPC/IP address set to 192.88.247.1 for Net232 device
First three numbers of all network devices are 192.88.247
Sub-net mask is set to 255.255.255.0
3) Private LAN Setup with Multiple Networks
Private LAN with Multiple Networks
In multiple-network scenarios, two or more networks connect to a common gateway via ethernet hubs. In
regard to multiple networks, a qualified network administrator should assign all TCP/IP parameters.
*Acquisition Device refers to ChartScan, TempScan, or MultiScan. Two of these devices (in any
combination) can be connected to the Net232 via PORT 1 and PORT 2.
