SA380TX Network Access

SA380TX Network Access

Nov 11, 2020

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.

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
