CONFIGURATION
Ethernet LAN/WAN Information Needed
It is mandatory to get the following information from the
person that is responsible for supervising and maintaining the
LAN/WAN Ethernet system in the locations where the XM500
shall be operated:

Test Network Response Time
The network administrator should run a "trace route" between
the LAN and remote location to ensure the cumulative
response time is not near or over 1000 milliseconds.
Otherwise, the user can encounter connectivity issues.
Locations must have LAN/WAN connection
A (10bT) TCP/IP LAN/WAN connection must be available in
every location, where an EXCEL controller or a workstation
shall be operated via the XM500.
Every TCP/IP Modem needs an official IP address
This IP address must be official and permanent. It will serve
as the telephone number for the workstation or EXCEL
controller that is connected to it.
EXAMPLE: 160.221.71.130
NOTES:
1.
If communication is only done internally in the
LAN, unofficial IP addresses will be sufficient.
2.
If only dynamic IP addresses are available: Use a
DHCP server and have it allocate the identical IP
address every time it does a dynamic IP address
allocation.
3.
For an intermediate test, the IP address of a PC
can be borrowed, but the PC must be switched off
during this test.
4.
If an XM500 is connected to a LAN network which
itself is connected to WAN by using one official IP
address only via Proxy server or dynamic NAT,
this controller cannot be addressed from the
WAN.
5.
Every controller that has to be accessed by the
TCP/IP modem needs its own IP address.
6.
If the connection between two LANs itself is done
via dial-up, fixed IP addresses in the TCP/IP
Modem will not work. Contact your local system
administrator for help in this case.
Every TCP/IP Modem needs a network mask
