7.2 How to Install Software
7.2.1 Read This First!
Caution!
Upgrading a product will interrupt its normal operation. Code can be loaded at any
time without interfering with the unit functionality. However, for the new code to be
activated a power cycle is required. Ensure that the unit is not in use at this time.
Before starting, ensure that the programming procedure is well understood.
7.2.2 If the IP Address is Not Known
The unit IP (Main) address can be obtained from the Front Panel LCD; alternatively
the user can access the serial port by connecting to a PC running HyperTerminal
with the following settings:
• 115200 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no parity
• no flow control
To establish the unit IP address connect the serial port as above, power on the unit
and the IP address settings will be displayed as part of the boot sequence.
Alternatively to display all the control port settings, at the Monitor> prompt type:
Monitor> ipinfo
To set a new IP address type Monitor> IP3 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
To set a subnet mask (if required) type Monitor> IPMASK3 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
To set a default gateway (if required) type Monitor> IPGATEWAY xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
