Configuration
July 2008 Revision 4.2 31/62
The L-SP2 configuration will be carried on using a host computer connected to the local Ethernet
network.
5.4 Configuration of the L-SP2
“L-SP2 Configuration” is the software tool used to communicate and configure the L-SP2
pedestal. This software handles communication either using the serial port or Ethernet port.
Depending on the L-SP2 version, the configuration of the whole L-SP2 installed on site is carried
on according to the following methods:
 If the Ethernet version is selected on site; the whole L-SP2 configuration can be carried on
from a host computer connected to the local area network. Each L-SP2 is addressed
thanks to its own IP.
 If the standard version is selected on site; the whole L-SP2 configuration will be carried on
after connecting each pedestal with the RS232 interface as shown in Figure 15, the
Master/Slave statute depending on neighboring systems.
5.4.1 Installing the Configuration Software
The L-SP2 Configuration Utility is on the CD-Rom provided with the L-SP2.
Launching the Installer from the CD-Rom will display the following window:
You can localize the each gate thanks to their IP address. Their on site location must be
known to configure and set them as Slaves or Master.
Before you configure the whole L-SP2, you need to have a clear vision of which systems will
be the Masters or the Slaves. (Refer to section 5.2 “Understanding the L-SP2 Synchronization
Process”)
CAUTION: In a configuration case with several pedestals, as pedestal is default Master
configured, they will mutually perturb when powered on. So the first step will be to set the
Slaves pedestals chosen as Slave.
When the Ethernet version is installed, the L-SP2 configuration can only be carried on via the
Ethernet connection. The DB9 configuration connector as show Figure 15 is only used to set
the Ethernet interface and cannot be used to configure the L-SP2.
