2.6.2. Starting the Control Software
The procedure to establish communication with a node varies depending on whether the
network is running a DHCP server or whether the user wishes to run with static IP
addresses.
If the network is running DHCP and the NETNode unit is set to defaults, the unit will acquire
an address via DHCP. To find out the IP address a PC running the Node Finder PC application
must be connected to the same network as the Mesh NETNode.
Starting the Nodefinder application will identify the IP address of any and all mesh nodes on
the Network. To find out which unit this is unplug the IP connection to the unit and refresh
Node Finder (F5). The entry that disappears is the node in question.
If the User‟s Network does not support DHCP or the unit has the wrong fixed IP address,
then a PC running the Node Finder PC application must be connected via RS232 using the
data cable (CA288 (Phase1) or CA0406 (Phase 2 Robust) between the port on the PC and
the Control port on the MESH node.
On a Phase2 Plain box Mesh connect the PC to the AUX port using the CA0474 cable. The
RS232 control 9-way D-type must be used.
