Communications Setup

Warning: Changes to this screen should not be made without consulting SSi at 513-772-0060. This screen will show the Ethernet and RS-232/RS-485 communications information for the 9215 controller.

Note about ADAM module support: Communications with ADAM analog input modules manufactured by Advantech are not supported as of 9215 firmware revision 2.34. To determine the firmware version of your 9215 instrument, use the About option in the main menu.

IP Address

NOTE: This screen option is for changing the controller's IP address. If you need to change the IP address of the Touch Screen, see the instructions in Appendix A of the Touch Screen Manager manual, available at www.supersystems.com.

This will identify the IP address of the controller. Please consult your Systems Administrator before changing this value as it can affect communications to the 9220 controller or to other devices on your network. This is necessary if the Touchscreen will be communicating to the 9220 over Ethernet communications. The IP address must be in the “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” format.

IP Mask

NOTE: This screen option is for changing the controller's IP mask. If you need to change the IP mask of the Touch Screen, see the instructions in Appendix A of the Touch Screen Manager manual, available at www.supersystems.com.

This will identify the Subnet mask of the controller. The Subnet mask must be in the “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” format.

IP Gateway

NOTE: This screen option is for changing the controller's IP gateway. If you need to change the IP gateway of the Touch Screen, see the instructions in Appendix A of the Touch Screen Manager manual, available at www.supersystems.com.

This will identify the IP gateway of the controller. The IP gateway must be in the “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” format.
