Hi all,
I recently purchased
one of these units from Jaycar, an XC-4134, for a project where I need to talk bi directionally
to a remote RS485 device via ethernet over my local LAN.
Firstly, I can't seem to find the unit at all on my LAN until I turn off Windows firewall. That seems to make sense.
When I turn off Windows Firewall I can see it using a test IP program
that came with the unit.
That program reports the device at 192.168.0.10 as documentation says it should be (default).(screen shot 1)
Why do I need to turn off the firewall to see it?
I can see all of my IP cameras, for example, as soon as I plug and play those?
When I run ipconfig I get: (screen shot 2)
My PC IP is 10.0.0.26 and my gateway is 10.0.0.138 (router/modem)
The quick setup guide then suggests going in to LAN properties and
changing the IP of the device.
It is this step that I'm not sure of. System is Win7 btw.
After a few tries with what the quick start manual suggests
I get an IP conflict message. So I reset it all back.
Has anyone had success connecting to one of these devices?
I have read a few Whirlpool threads about them and they all seem to be temperamental to get going.
thanks in advance ,
Steve
