3.2 SPAN-SE Ethernet Connection
The SPAN-SE receiver has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address, hard coded into
flash, and user-configurable IP information. There are four ports available for Ethernet: Ports
3000, 3001, 3002 and 3003. These ports are used to access ICOM1, ICOM2, ICOM3 and ICOM4
respectively. Each port can be used for either Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User
Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic, but not simultaneously.
The SPAN-SE uses a static IP address. There is no Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) support on the SPAN-SE.
An FTP port is available for transfer of data files from the data logging SD Card.
The receiver is shipped with the following default configuration:
• Default IP: 192.168.0.10
• Default mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
The MAC address is available to through the MAC log
.
3.2.1 Configuring for TCP or UDP Operation
Each SPAN-SE Ethernet port can be configured for either TCP or UDP. The default
configuration of the Ethernet ports is for TCP operation. To configure the Ethernet ports for UDP
operation, see the ICOMCONFIG command in Appendix A: SPAN Commands and Logs.
3.2.2 Configuring the Ethernet Connection Settings
Use the IPCONFIG command, see Appendix A: SPAN Commands and Logs, to set the static IP
address, the subnet mask and the gateway. An example of the IPCONFIG command is:
IPCONFIG ETHA STATIC 10.1.100.25 255.255.255.0 10.1.100.1
3.2.3 Configuring Log Requests Destined for the Ethernet Port
The COM port identifier for the Ethernet port is ICOM1 in ASCII or 23 in binary. A sample log
request for the Ethernet port is:
LOG ICOM1 RANGECMPB ONTIME 1
