3. Conguration

3.1 Automatic conguration by DHCP

After switch-on EPC NET 8x looks for a DHCP server and re­quests an available IP address (for deactivation of that feature
see 2.2).

Please check the IP adress allocated to EPC NET 8x in the
DHCP server settings to make sure that the same address is
used at every reboot.

3.2 Network conguration by GBL_Conf.exe

For changing the network properties manually, the program
GBL_Conf.exe is required. This tool is available for free on our
website www.gude.info.

Furthermore GBL_Conf.exe enables you to install rmware up­dates and to reset EPC NET 8x to its factory settings (see 5.2).

Activate bootloader mode of EPC NET 8x and run GBL_
Conf.exe (see 5.1). The program will look automatically for con­nected devices and will display their network conguration.

If the displayed IP address accords with the factory settings
(192.168.0.2), there is either no DHCP server available in the
network or no free IP address could be allocated.

Enter a free IP address and the according netmask in the entry
mask, then save these changes by clicking on Program Device

gSaveCong.

Restart EPC NET 8x by
switching it off and on again,
so that the changes will take
effect. Now click on Search
in order to have the new
network conguration dis­played.
