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 5-11).
Multiple devices on a LAN are each identified by their unique (device-specific) serial number.
Ensure that the serial number displayed for the unit [being configured] agrees with the serial
number on the MAC label, located on the rear panel of the device.
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.
Reference Note:
Appendix A contains general information regarding how to use the Daq Configuration Applet.
