Client Setup
To connect to a sensor from a client PC (using a web browser), you must ensure the client's network card is properly configured. The network ID of the client PC's network card must match that of any sensors you want to connect to.
Sensors are shipped with the following default network configuration:
| DHCP |
Disabled |
| IP Address |
192.168.1.10 |
| Subnet Mask |
255.255.255.0 |
| Gateway |
0.0.0.0 |
|
All sensors are configured to 192.168.1.10 as the default IP address. For a dual- or multi-sensor system, the each sensor must be assigned unique addresses before they can be used on the same network. Before proceeding, connect each sensor one at a time (to avoid an address conflict) and use the steps in See Dual- or Multi-Sensor System to assign each sensor a unique address.

When connecting cordset connectors to the sensor's connectors, do not exceed a torque of 2 Nm (18 in-lbs). Ensure that you properly secure the cordset cabling to avoid stress loading on the sensor connectors.
