Obstacles to Overcome • When • Connecting via Ethernet • Cscape • EnvisionRV • EnvisionFX • Modbus TCP • SRTP • EGD • Ethernet IP • ICMP • FTP • HTTP
Ethernet Wiring Required for 1000BASE-T (gigabit Ethernet) Connections… Connecting through an existing network, hub or switch: Connecting directly from OCS to OCS or Computer to OCS:
Ethernet Wiring Sufficient for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T Connections including all Horner products Connecting through an existing network, hub or switch: Connecting directly from OCS to OCS or Computer to OCS:
Ethernet Troubleshooting Step 1: • Connect directly; Bypass the IT department • Use Reversing cable to connect point-to-point • Use a small switch to connect 3 or more components • Give each component a unique IP address: • 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, … 192.168.0.255 • If using a computer, reassign its IP address • Through the Control Panel Networking Get the system working connected directly FIRST!
Ethernet Troubleshooting If successfully connected directly or if that’s not feasible… Step 2: • Determine all of the barriers between the Ethernet components • Connected directly? (No barriers) • Just on an internal network? • Available to the internet and the world?
Ethernet Troubleshooting After determining all barriers the Ethernet must go through… Step 3: • Consult the Ethernet Supplement manual • Hornerocs.com Manuals OCS I-O SmartStacks etn200-etn300 etn200-300 Supp • Look up the ‘Network Administrator Installation Notes’ under the ‘Installation’ section • Take note of any instructions or warnings depending on the type of installation being done • Especially take note of the UDP or TCP port for the protocols being used.
Ethernet Troubleshooting After consulting the Ethernet Supplement manual… Step 4: • Configure IP addresses on “The Network” • Have IT personnel give you a valid, unused address for each component • Have IT personnel associate an external IP address if access to the outside world is needed • Have IT personnel provide the Gateway Address if access to the outside world is needed • Have IT personnel “poke holes” in any firewalls according to what UDP or TCP ports are needed • Consult the Ethernet Supplement manual, previous slide
Notes • The IP address that a component is programmed with (its “internal” network address) may be different from its IP address from the outside world (its “external” network address). • A domain name can be associated with the external IP address • For example, “webdemo.heapg.com” • A Flash card must be present for FTP to work • A Flash card with HTML files on it must be present for HTTP to work!
