Installation and commissioning
Requirements
Checking the conditions
Before you integrate your G-ST 8000+G3 into an existing network, you must ensure
that the following conditions are met:
Tool for commissioning
Ensure that before commissioning, all accessories needed for installation are availa-
ble and connect these accessories.
If configuration and operation of the system is to be performed directly on the
G-ST 8000+G3, you need the following equipment:
Mouse and
keyboard
Connect the mouse and keyboard via the USB ports on the back of the device.
Use only standard PC keyboards and mice that are compatible with MS Windows.
Monitor
Connect the monitor cable to the DVI connector on the back of the device. If neces-
sary, use the VGA adapter if you have an analog RGB monitor.
The device driver for the graphic card has already been installed on the device.
Network
For network integration of G-ST 8000+G3 we recommend the following tools:
integration
There is a functioning network with TCP/IP protocol (100/1000 Mbit Ethernet).
For other networks, the successful integration of G-ST 8000+G3 must first be
demonstrated.
For commissioning, a network administrator is required on site who can inter-
vene promptly when problems with the network arise.
The responsible network administrator must provide a free IP address, in some
cases with subnet mask and default gateway, for every G-ST 8000+G3 and for
each configuration and playback PC. In addition, a free IP address is required
per network segment. This additional IP address will be used for test setups dur-
ing commissioning and must remain available after completion of work.
With the help of the PING diagnostic tool, which is normally executed as a con-
sole command, functional communication between the G-ST and the configura-
tion or playback PCs must be confirmed. You can also demonstrate functional
name mapping using PING. You start the command window using right klick on
Start left klick on Command prompt enter PING + IP adress.
S-VGA monitor (minimum resolution 1024 x 768 pixels, 17-inch recommended)
USB keyboard and USB mouse.
Laptop with installed network card and the required network configuration. For
testing, installation using MS-Windows 7 is sufficient.
Establish the connection between the G-ST 8000+G3 and analysis PC via a
switch or use a crossover network cable.
