Installation
1 - 12 ADPRO FastTrace, Issue 5
1.10.3 NETWORK Port
Connection to an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Local Area Network is via the NETWORK port. ADPRO FastTrace supports
connection to 10baseT and 100baseT wiring systems.
A network address is required for correct operation over a network. Both the ADPRO FastTrace and the PC running
the ADPRO FastTrace PC software must have a unique TCP/IP address (referred to as the IP address). A number of
IP parameters may need to be entered to correctly identify an ADPRO FastTrace on a network.
IP Address
The IP Address is used to identify each piece of equipment connected to the network. Each ADPRO FastTrace requires
a unique IP address. The assigned IP Address is defined in 4 fields, for example: 123.07.231.72. Each field may contain
an address element up to the value of 255.
Subnet Mask
Network devices communicate by using the subnet mask to determine whether the destination device is located on a
local or a remote network. The assigned Subnet Mask is defined in 4 fields, for example: 255.255.0.0. Each field may
contain a mask element up to the value of 255.
Default Gateway
For communication with a PC located on another network, the local ADPRO FastTrace must be given the address of
the route to the other network. The default gateway is the address to which the local ADPRO FastTrace sends packets
that are destined for the other network.
IMPORTANT NOTE
To ensure correct network connectivity, please ensure ADPRO FastTrace is connected
to the network before being powered on. This enables the ADPRO FastTrace unit to
detect the correct network speed (10BaseT or 100BaseT).
NOTE
Before configuring an ADPRO FastTrace for operation it is important that the IT or
Network Manager assigns an IP Address for use by the device. This address is required
for correct network operation. Addresses for the ‘subnet mask’ and the ‘gateway’ may
also be required prior to commencement of the installation procedure.
WARNINGS
Remote setting of IP address
Changing the IP address may mean you can no longer connect to the ADPRO FastTrace.
