Checking connection |
Once i connected and powered-up the LadderDIP IV i can check if the module is working properly following the listed operation
Connect the Ethernet cable supplied in the starter-kit from the LadderDIP IV Ethernet Port to your PC
Remember to configure your PC Ethernet port with the necessary IP address and SUBNET mask.
For example, if you LadderDIP IV device respond to the address "192.168.5.52" (Factory setting) you have to assign an IP address to your PC in the same subnet (i.e. 192.168.5.91) and set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
NOTE: After power up the module requires about 6 seconds to be active, during this period no answers will be given on Ethernet Port

• | From your PC execute, using a command prompt, the following command |
ping 192.168.5.52
