will get its IP address from a DHCP server on the network. Refer to
“Setting IPv4 Communications Parameters (if controller not set as
DHCP)” on page 15 or “Setting IPv6 Communications Parameters
(if controller not set as DHCPv6)” on page 15 to set the port
parameters;
or,
“Setting for DHCP and DHCPv6” on page 15 to set the port as
DHCP or DHCPv6.
Connecting the Controller to your Local Area Network (LAN)
when the System IS Equipped with an IB4 Board
NOTE: Your system may be furnished with an IB4 board. The
IB4 board provides a second Ethernet port. The Ethernet port
located on the NCU Controller’s front panel can ONLY be used
to connect a computer directly to the NCU. The Ethernet port
located on the IB4 board can be used to connect the NCU to
your Local Area Network (LAN). Refer to your system’s
documentation for location of the IB4 board (if furnished).
NOTE: If your system has an IB4 board, DO NOT connect your
Local Area Network (LAN) to the NCU front Ethernet port.
Some systems may have an IB4 board with a second Ethernet port.
This port supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
function. Refer to your system’s documentation for location of the
IB4 board (if furnished).
If your system has an IB4 board, connect the Local Area Network
(LAN) to the IB4 board port. The IB4 board port can be assigned an
IP address or can be set for DHCP. If it is set for DHCP, it will get its
IP address from a DHCP server on the network. Refer to “Setting
IPv4 Communications Parameters (if controller not set as DHCP)”
on page 15 or “Setting IPv6 Communications Parameters (if
controller not set as DHCPv6)” on page 15 to set the port
parameters;
or,
“Setting for DHCP and DHCPv6” on page 15 to set the port as
DHCP or DHCPv6.
Connecting a Local Computer Directly to the Controller when
the System is NOT Equipped with an IB4 Board
An Ethernet port is located on the front panel of the NCU. This
port supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
function.
If your system does not have an IB4 board, perform the following
procedure.
Procedure
1. Before connecting your computer directly to the
controller’s Ethernet port, use the following procedure to
record your computer’s network settings (so they can be
returned to these values when done) and then change
these settings in your computer to match the
communications settings programmed in the controller.
NOTE: Windows 7 operating system is used in this procedure,
other operating systems are similar.
a. Record your computer’s network settings by
launching Control Panel in your computer. Navigate
through Network and Sharing Center Local Area
Connection Properties Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP/IPV4) Properties.
b. Record whether the "Obtain an IP address
automatically" or "Use the following IP address"
button is selected. If "Use the following IP address"
button is selected, also record the following:
IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:
c. Record your controller’s network settings by
navigating the controller’s local display panel to
Main Menu / Settings Icon / Comm Settings. Record
the following controller’s IP parameters. If these
parameters were not changed, they should be at the
default values as shown in the example section
below.
IPv4
IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:
Example:
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
IPv6
IPv6 Address:
IPv6 Prefix:
IPv6 Gateway:
Example:
IPv6 Address: 20fa:fffd:fffc:fffb:fffa:fff9:fff8:fff7
IPv6 Prefix: 0
IPv6 Gateway: 20fa:1:fffe:ffff:fffe:fffd:ffff:fffe
d. Change your local computer’s network settings
using the information you acquired in the above
