Configurator IP address enhancement suggestion

Post by dberezowski » Thu Nov 11, 2010 7:26 am

Add the ability to specify the IP address of the target device. We develop for the PV450 and PV750 simultaneously on the same machine. Currently we have to manually switch the PVx50 USB/Network cable. One can define the IP address of the PV450 and PV750 but the Configurator will only talk to 192.168.0.2

Thank you for the suggestion. We will take this into consideration for one of our next releases.

This feature is in 2.2.

In 2.2, if you go to the About box, you will find a networking tab. If you have a display successfully connected to your Config Tool, you can change the IP address using the Configure Network.

Once you've changed the display, you'll have to change the IP of your PC to match. Consult your IT group if you have questions there, but there is also a section in the 2.2 manual that describes how to change the IP address of your computer on the direct connect.

If you do a full install from the PC, however, you will have to make this change again. Config only loads do not affect this change.
