This procedure is used to set the IP Address
Procedure 1
1. Determine the desired IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Usually a network
administrator will assign these numbers. Note that the MVI46-MNET will not function as a
client for the DHCP protocol.
2. Modify the WATTCP.CFG file for the correct Internet parameters using a suitable editor
such as Notepad. The default file is shown in Figure 8-7.
3. Connect the debugging cable from the external PC to the DEBUG port on the MVI-46 as
shown in Figure 8-6.
4. Start HyperTerminal and configure for 57600 baud.
5. Type ? in HyperTerminal.
6. Verify that the menu to appears as shown in Figure 8-6.
7. Type M@?.
8. Verify that HyperTerminal displays:
NETWORK MENU
?=Display Menu R=Receive WATTCP.CFG S=Send WATTCP.CFG V=View WATTCP.CFG
M=Main Menu
9. Type RY
10. On the HyperTerminal menu bar, click on
Transfer/Send.
11. Click on Browse and navigate to the location of WATTCP.CFG in the PC.
12. Click on Open and then Send.
Note: An error will occur if the user takes more that 50 seconds to perform this step. If an
error occurs, repeat this procedure.
13. Verify that HyperTerminal displays:
FILE TRANSFERRED FROM PC UNIT THE MODULE MUST RESTART...
14. Cycle power to the PLC.
15. The WATTCP.CFG file may be conveniently viewed with the V command.
A 10/100BaseT Ethernet network cable may now be connected to the top RJ45 jack.
Notes:
Honeywell strongly recommends that any gas detection network which is connected to the
l
Internet be protected from unauthorized access by a firewall.
Honeywell recommends that a gas detection Ethernet network be separated from a general-
l
purpose computer networks by a switch. This is because the transmission time of Ethernet
networks is non-deterministic and can become large if the network is heavily loaded.
