Configuring the Smart Trac
Ethernet Card
The Ethernet Card's Jumperless
Settings
The Smart Trac Ethernet Card is preconfigured and jumperless.
The interrupt is factory-set to "5."
Using interrupt 5 assures you that there will be no conflicts with other basic
Smart Trac components if all are set according to their default values.
The Base I/O Address is set to 0x320. You must maintain unique addresses and
interrupts for all cards in the Smart Trac card stack.
Ethernet Network Configuration
Depending on whether you are networking for PC-based operation on a small
LAN or an enterprise-wide LAN, you may need the assistance of your LAN
Administrator to specify unique TCP/IP address, a subnet mask, and gateway
addresses.
All Ethernet cards use a unique TCP/IP address. Every device (Smart Trac AC1,
printer, computer, etc) connected to a TCP/IP network requires at least one IP
address, unique within that network. This is true whether the device is part of a
control network or not.
A TCP/IP address (i.e. "207.21.32.12") identifies the unique network ID and
host ID of a computer or host using 32-bit numbers. Each component number of
the TCP/IP address, separated by a decimal point, is referred to as an "octet".
This is because it can be represented by an eight-digit binary number.
For discussion of subnet masks and gateway addresses, see "TCP/IP Subnet
Masks" and "The Gateway Address." However, you may not need to concern
yourself with exactly what they are, viewing them only as values to be entered
during configuration.
For typical applications, you may determine the subnet mask and gateway
address as follows:
