03 - Remote Control Connecting to LabSat 3

LabSat 3 is connected to the network using a standard Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ45 ‘Ethernet’ connector on the rear panel. LabSat 3 can operate with a fixed IP address or using the DHCP protocol where an IP address is automatically obtained from a network server. Contact your network administrator for advice on which is best for your application.
 

Network configuration options are accessed via the menu under SETUP.

Setup

• LAN
  • DHCP – Tick to select/deselect (When deselected manual options below are available)
  • IP Address – Allows IP Address to be set manually
  • SUBNET MASK – Allows SUBNET MASK to be set manually
  • DEFAULT GATEWAY- Allows DEFAULT GATEWAY to be set manually

After changing any network settings, it is necessary to power-cycle the LabSat 3 to re-connect to the network.
 

To check connection to LabSat 3 over your network, use the ‘ping’ command from windows command prompt along with labsatv3_xxyyzz  where  xxyyzz is the serial number including any leading zeroes.

An example is shown below including the successful response from the LabSat 3.
 

If you have a fixed IP address or know the DHCP assigned IP address, it is also possible to ping the IP address directly, for example -   PING 192.168.1.126
