Ethernet Configuration and Remote Programming
SG Series Programming
NOTE: The SG Ethernet Option has been designed and tested to be fully
compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0. This is the only browser
supported by Elgar Electronics Corporation (EEC) in its Ethernet-based
products. Earlier versions of Explorer (or browsers by other companies) may
or may not work correctly, and as such, are not supported by EEC.
5.2.1
Network Setup Using DHCP
Before beginning this procedure, get access to the DHCP server or see your
network administrator to get the IP address assigned to the power supply.
NOTE: The power supply is VXI-11 compliant, so even without access to the
DHCP server, it is still possible to discover the IP address assigned to the
power supply with programs such as National Instrument’s NI-VISA.
1. Start with the power supply in the power-off state.
2. Connect a RJ-45 network cable from the power supply to the network
with the DHCP server.
3. Power on the power supply and allow the power supply to perform its
initialization.
4. Identify the IP address assigned to the power supply by accessing the
DHCP server, by any of three ways:
•
asking your network administrator
•
discovering it with a VXI-11 compliant discover program
•
connect using a computer serial communications program
such as HyperTerminalTM set for 19200 baud, no parity, 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit and request the IP address with the command,
SYST:NET:IP?<Enter>. You will receive a response that
includes two IP addresses in the form of four sets of octets
separated by a dot: e.g., 192.168.4.3 and 92.168.4.3 or 0.0.0.0
and 72.32.3.5
If you choose to use MS HyperTerminalTM to identify the IP
address:
a. After inputting the above parameters (baud rate, etc.),
in the HyperTerminalTM window click the disconnect
icon and then the properties icon.
b. In the properties window select the Settings tab.
c. In the Settings window click the ASCII Setup button.
d. In the ASCII Setup window in the ASCII Sending
section, check “Echo typed characters locally” and in
the ASCII Receiving section, check “Append line
feeds to incoming line ends.” Leave all other check
boxes in their default state.
5. The SG Ethernet hardware is now configured. Open Internet Explorer
6 or higher, or compatible Web browser and enter the IP address of
the power supply to view the Home page of the power supply. Figure
5-4 shows the SGI Power Supply Home page; the SGA Power Supply
