16.2 Addressing
16.2.1 MI3
The factory default IP address for the linescanner is 192.168.42.130.
The IP address for the MI3 is not free of choice: It has to be unique in the network meaning that no
other device in the network including the PC network adapter may run at the same IP address. The IP
address for the MI3 can be set directly via the control panel.
Ask your IT administrator for a free IP address to be used!
Advanced Ethernet Settings
Subnet Mask:
The Subnet Mask defines the interpretation of the IP address. The factory default setting is
255.255.255.0. The Subnet Mask can be changed using the <NM> command of the MI3.
Port:
In the case that the default port 6363 for the MI3 should conflict with something else (it could be
blocked by the firewall for example) it can be changed using the <PORT> command.
Gateway:
A gateway connects two subnets (which have a different subnet address). The IP address of the
gateway is given with the MI3 command <GW>.
The current settings for the IP address and the netmask of the PC can be asked with the
command <ipconfig> in a Command Prompt window!
To establish the Ethernet communication, the subnet addresses for both the MI3 and
the PC need to match! Appropriate changes can be applied either on the MI3 side or on
the PC network adapter!
