Setup Procedure

LAN Interface


To connect to an existing network, settings may need to be allocated by the network system administrator (IS department) beforehand. This is to avoid duplicating certain settings already allocated to other devices. Obtain the following setting information from the administrator (IS department), and write it down.

Host name
(up to 15 characters)

***************

IP address

***.***.***.***

Subnet mask

***.***.***.***

Default gateway
(present or not present)

***.***.***.*** (when present)

TCP/IP port number

****
(The default number is 8802.)



If assembling a stand-alone network with no connection to an existing network, you can still obtain the address information from the administrator, or if there is no administrator, you can assign the setup values yourself.
An IP address within the following range is recommended when setting up such a stand-alone network:

192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254
Note that the rightmost number may not be 0 or 255.


We recommend setting the controller device (typically a PC) to 192.168.1.1, and setting this device to 192.168.1.2. If several Memory HiCORDERs are to be connected, the last number should be incremented by one for each device (e.g., the second HiCORDER would be set to 192.168.1.3). The host name must be unique for each device (no two devices may have the same name). Otherwise, the following settings should be satisfactory:


[Example]

Setting Memory HiCORDER PC
Host name MEMOHI PC
IP address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0
Default gateway OFF OFF
TCP/IP Port number 8802 8802

USB Interface


When controlling the MEMORY HiCORDER using the USB interface, it is necessary to configure the communication protocols on both the MEMORY HiCORDER and the PC so that they are identical. Configure as shown below. Do not change settings during communication.
