Three methods of access are provided:
- Direct cable connection for local access using a laptop
- Internet / intranet
- Dial-up
Direct cable connection
- Connect the logger to a computer using a crossed RJ45 network cable. If a crossed network cable is not available, two 'normal' RJ45 cables and a hub can be used
- Wait approximately 60 seconds for the logger to assign an IP address to your computer.
- Start Internet Explorer on the computer and enter the logger’s IP address
(eg http://10.0.1.1:80/)
DHCP Server
The SA380TX can act as a DHCP allocator (to allow direct cable connections). From firmware revision 1211 onward, this behaviour can be prevented in the logger's XML configuration by setting <dhcp>0</dhcp> in the ConfigEth section, or by selecting a connection profile whose bearer type is "ethernet".
The SA380TX is factory-set with a fixed IP address of 10.0.1.1:80. This address can be changed – see the 'How to change the IP address' section in Local Access.
Note that:
The web server is on port 8080.
Internet / intranet
If the logger is connected to a company network, its IP address will have been set when the unit was commissioned.
To access the logger, type the address into your browser eg. http://138.60.225.10
