NOTE
Don’tmakeanyethernetorfiberconnectionsuntilthispoint.Thesetupshouldbeconfiguredinthesamesequenceasdescribedinthisstepbystepguide.
1) Configuration of R2 Address Thefirstthingwhichshouldbedone,isconfiguringtheIPandbusaddressesofalldevicesusedinyoursetup.Whendevicesarecascadedthroughfiber,thecontrolcanbedoneintwodifferentways:
Method 1: ConnectonedevicetoEthernet,andcontroltheotherdevicesinyoursetupthroughthesameIPaddress.Thedatawillbetransferredbetweenthedevicesoverthefiberconductor.Theadvantageofthismethodis:OnlyoneEthernetconnectionisnecessary.Thedisadvantageofthismethodis:youcanonlyseetheVUmetersintheuserinterfaceoftheR2whichisdirecltlyconnectedtotheEthernetnetwork.(Allothersettingscanmemade,excepttheVUmeterbargraphwhichisonlyvisibleforthedirectconnectedR2)
ToconfigureyoursystemaccordingtoMethod1,proceedwiththefollowingprocedure:
1) ConnectthefirstR2ofyoursetuptoyourEthernetnetwork2) SettheaddressforthefirstR2to“R001”,thiscanbedoneinthe“Setup”menu,under“R2 AddressSettings”.3) DisconnectthefirstR2ofyoursetupfromtheEthernetnetwork4) ConnectthesecondR2ofyoursetuptoyourEthernetnetwork5) SettheaddressforthesecondR2to“R002”,thiscanbedoneinthe“Setup”menu,under“R2 AddressSettings”.6) DisconnectthesecondR2ofyoursetupfromtheEthernetnetwork7) RepeatthisprocedureforallR2’sinyoursetup,andassignanuniquebusaddresstoeveryR2in yoursetup.8) Afterthisisdone,allR2’sshouldhaveanuniquebusaddress,andnoR2islongerconnectedto theEthernetnetwork.9) ConnectoneoftheR2’sinyoursetuptotheEthernetnetwork.(Itdoesn’tmatterwhichone youconnecttotheEthernetnetwork,butmindyoucanonlyseetheVUmeterbargraphmoving oftheconnectedR2)10) ConnecttheR2’switheachotherthroughfiberconductors,usingtheloopprincipleasshownin Figure1.11) RestartallR2’s12) AllR2’sshoulddisplaynow“FiberOK”ontopoftheirmainpage,nexttotheconnectionstatus.
Method 2: ConnectalldevicestoEthernet,andcontrolthembytheirownIPaddress.Theadvantageofthismethodis:youcanseetheVUmetersofallconnectedR2’s.Thedisadvantageofthismethodis:everydeviceneedshisownEthernetconnectionandIPaddress.
ToconfigureyoursystemaccordingtoMethod2,proceedwiththefollowingprocedure:
1) ConnectthefirstR2ofyoursetuptoyourEthernetnetwork2) SettheaddressforthefirstR2to“R001”,thiscanbedoneinthe“Setup”menu,under“R2 AddressSettings”.3) ChangetheIPaddressforthefirstdevicetoonewhichisavailableinyourethernet network(Forexample192.168.0.191).Thiscanbedoneinthe“Setup”menu,under“Network Settings”.4) DisconnectthefirstR2ofyoursetupfromtheEthernetnetwork5) ConnectthesecondR2ofyoursetuptoyourEthernetnetwork6) SettheaddressforthesecondR2to“R002”,thiscanbedoneinthe“Setup”menu,under“R2 AddressSettings”.

7) ChangetheIPaddressfortheseconddevicetoonewhichisavailableinyourethernet network(Forexample192.168.0.192).Thiscanbedoneinthe“Setup”menu,under“Network Settings”.MakesurethisIPaddressisdifferentfromthefirstdevice’sIPaddress.8) DisconnectthesecondR2ofyoursetupfromtheEthernetnetwork9) GivealltheR2’sinyoursetupanuniquebusandIPaddress.Thiscanbedonebyrepeatingstep 5to8ofthisprocedure.MakesureeverydevicehasanuniquebusandIPaddress.10) Now,alldeviceshaveanuniquebusandIPaddress,andnodeviceisconnectedtotheEthernet network.11) Connectalldevicestoyourethernetnetwork12) ConnecttheR2’switheachotherthroughfiberconductors,usingtheloopprincipleasshownin Figure1.13) RestartallR2’s14) AllR2’sshoulddisplaynow“FiberOK”ontopoftheirmainpage,nexttotheconnectionstatus.
