4. Use a twisted-pair UTP or STP cable (category 3, 4, 5) to connect
the HMI-640S through its RJ-45 port to a hub (or a switch) within the
Ethernet LAN, to which your host PC is also connected to.
5. Assign valid IP addresses for your HMI-640S and host PC. If you
are joining an existing Intranet, ask your network administrator for
valid IP addresses. If your are using a DHCP server on the network,
you have just no need to assign IP addresses yourself.
Note: To assign the IP addresses to your machines, just
access
Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network
properties sheet and enter valid IP addresses for
your machine.
Note: If your network are using a DHCP server for
dynamic IP address assignment, you have then no
need to assign by yourself since the IP addresses
will be assigned to each networking device once it
is connected to the network.
6. Enter the device name for your HMI-640S for network identifica-
tion.
Note: To assign a
device name
to your HMI-640S, just
access
Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network
properties sheet and enter the device name for your
HMI-640S.
You have to reboot your system to make
the device name viable on the network.
7. After properly establishing the IP status and the device name of
your machine on the network, You must reboot to make it viable on
the network.
8. After rebooting is complete, verify that your HMI-640S is
functionable within the network.
