IP Address
An IP address is a unique identifier for each controller, PC or other Ethernet device.
The IP address range is fro 0 to 255, where 0 is null, 1 to 254 are valid numbers and 255 is a
broadcast number. (Example – 10.1.1.25) Note – Consult with the Network Administrator before
using any IP address to avoid duplicate numbers
Subnet Mask
This is the mask or range of address that the device is allowed to talk to, typically the broadcast
number is used (Example 255.255.255.0 in this example permission is granted to talk to all devices
on the network)
LAN
Local Area Network refers to structured Ethernet cabling within a local area such as a single building.
WAN
Wide Area Network, refers to a group of LAN’s connected together such as a group of buildings.
VPN
Virtual Private Network, refers to a separate IP numbering system applied on WAN’s that allows
different equipment in various locations to communicate as a LAN
Gateway
The Gateway is the device used to channel IP traffic between LAN’s over a WAN.
IP Port number
The IP port number is the number assigned for the communications over TCP to that specific IP
address. The AX200 uses Port numbers 4848 for the controller and 1818 for the AX200 software.
Firewall
A firewall may comprise of a physical device or software on a PC and it is designed to stop malicious
attacks by computer hackers or virus. Note Firewalls may also stop communication between the
AX200 and the software unless the specified IP port numbers are listed in both the TCP and UDP
protocol safe list on the firewall.
LAN Configuration
When working on a local area network (LAN) all devices that are configured to operate with fixed IP
address such as the AX200 controller, will require the same segment address. So if the Server (PC)
IP address is 10.1.1.15 then the AX200 will require an IP address with the same segment such as
10.1.1.52. When building a private network (if there is not already one there) it is recommended that
the segment address is 10.1.1.x Use the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and the gateway IP address
should be 0.0.0.0
WAN Configuration
When working on a wide area network (WAN) all devices that are configured to operate with fixed IP
address such as the AX200 controller, will probably have a different segment address. So if the
Server (PC) IP address is 10.1.1.15 then the AX200 will require an IP address with the appropriate
segment such as 10.1.2.52. Use the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and the gateway IP address must
be configured (Please consult the Network Administrator for all IP Settings)
VPN Configuration
Generally configure Virtual Private networks as per the LAN Configuration setup. (Please consult the
Network Administrator for all IP Settings)
