A NETWORK CONNECTION BETWEEN HOST COMPUTER AND ZONEX PROCESSOR CAN BE CREATED AS FOLLOWS:
A. ROUTER WITH ACTIVATED DHCP SERVER (RECOMMENDED)
When using a router with an enabled DHCP server, the ZoneX processor automatically acquires the IP address during start-up, as soon as the
connection exists. It is recommended to use a router and PoE switch if further control units/controllers from other manufacturers are connected to
the network. This combination provides a DHCP server and also facilitates the power supply for the connected devices. We recommend using Linksys
routers and Netgear switches.
Note: Routers/switches with activated DHCP server should generally be switched on first. And all Ethernet cables should be connected to the
hardware before the devices are switched on. This will allow for a correct IP address assignment.
• First, turn on the router/switch.
• Then connect the host computer to a DHCP enabled router via an Ethernet cable.
• Connect the router to the ZoneX processor via an Ethernet cable.
• Connect the ZoneX processor to the mains and switch it on.
B. NON-DHCP-BASED DIRECT CONNECTION OR INDIRECT CONNECTION VIA ETHERNET SWITCH
If the processor is directly connected to a computer or indirectly via a switch and no DHCP server is available, the connection cannot be established
automatically.
Therefore, non-DHCP-based connections must be configured manually. Further details can be found in the Xilica Designer help file or in the LD
Systems ZoneX FAQ.
