Chapter 1
Introducing the E-1608-OEM
The E-1608-OEM is compatible with both TCP/IP (IPv4 only) and user datagram protocol (UDP) network
protocols.
The E-1608-OEM provides the following features:
Four differential (DIFF) or eight single-ended (SE) analog input channels (16-bit)
Sample rates up to 250 kS/s aggregate
Two analog output channels (16-bit)
Eight individually configurable digital I/O channels
One counter channel (32-bit) that counts TTL pulses
Header connectors for field wiring connections and power supply
Ethernet interface
The E-1608-OEM has one built-in 10/100 BASE-T auto-negotiation, high-speed communication port.
With the Ethernet interface, you can remotely access and configure your E-1608-OEM from anywhere on the
network. Only one computer can control the E-1608-OEM at one time. The networking protocols are TCP/IP
and UDP.
A unique media access control (MAC) address is assigned to each device at the factory.
You configure the Ethernet connection settings through software. A network name in the format E-1608-
xxxxxx, is assigned to the E-1608-OEM, where xxxxxx represents the lower six characters of the device MAC
address.

Chapter 2
Installing the E-1608-OEM
Unpacking
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the device from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply
touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
Contact us immediately if any components are missing or damaged.
Downloading the software
Refer to the E-1608-OEM product page on the Measurement Computing website for information about the
supported software you can download.
Install the software before you install the hardware
The driver needed to run the device is installed when you install the software. Therefore, you need to install the
software package you plan to use before you install the hardware.
Connecting the external power adapter
Power to the E-1608-OEM is provided with the 5 V external power adapter (PS-5V1AEPS). Connect the
adapter cord to the power connector on the E-1608-OEM device, and plug the AC adapter into an electrical
outlet.
The Power LED turns on when 5 V power is supplied to the E-1608-OEM. If the voltage supply is less than
3.3 V or more than 5.9 V, the POWER LED does not turn on.
Refer to Figure 2 on page 12 for the location of the Power LED.
Connecting the E-1608-OEM
The E-1608-OEM requires a TCP/IP and UDP connection to a network or computer. Use the standard Ethernet
cable provided to connect the E-1608-OEM to a 10Base-T- or 100Base-TX compatible Ethernet port, hub, or
switch.
When connecting the E-1608-OEM for the first time, make sure that you connect to a local network with DHCP
enabled.
If you are unsure whether you have access to a local network or that DHCP is enabled on that network, you
should use a direct connection to a Windows PC.
It may take a minute or two to detect the device and assign the address. The green Link/activity LED on the
lower left of the Ethernet connector turns on when there is a valid Ethernet link, and blinks when network
activity is detected.
Once the E-1608-OEM is physically connected to the local network or PC, you can run the software (InstaCal
for example) to establish a connection. If a connection cannot be established, make sure the device is using the
default configuration by following the instructions in the Restoring factory default network settings on page 10.
Once a connection is established and you can communicate to the device, you can change the configuration for
other network scenarios.

E-1608-OEM User's Guide Installing the E-1608-OEM
Configuring network settings
The following E-1608-OEM network settings are software-selectable. Only one user at a time can connect to
the E-1608-OEM to configure network options on the device. For typical local networks, the default settings are
recommended.
Address mode settings
The address mode setting determines whether the default IP parameters (IPv4 address, subnet mask, and
gateway) are assigned to the E-1608-OEM or an auto-addressing method is used to assign these parameters.
DHCP or link-local enabled (default)
If connected to a network with a DHCP server, the service automatically assigns IP addresses to the E-1608OEM.
If the connected network does not have a DHCP server, the address stored in the default IP address is assigned
to the E-1608-OEM.
If the E-1608-OEM is directly connected to a Windows PC, a link-local address is assigned to the device. A
link-local address is valid only for communications between the E-1608-OEM and the PC to which it is
connected
DHCP Only
Enables configuration by a DHCP server if one is available. The E-1608-OEM is assigned an IP address shortly
after it is powered up and attached to the network.
Link Local Only
The E-1608-OEM is assigned a link-local IP address by the Windows PC to which it is connected. A link-local
address is valid only for communications between the E-1608-OEM and the PC to which it is connected.
Static
The default IPv4 Address is manually configured on the E-1608 -OEM.
IP address settings
The default settings of the following IP address are assigned to the E-1608-OEM when automatic addressing is
disabled or not available (DHCP or Link Local for example)
IPv4 address – The IP address that is stored on the device. The default IPv4 address is 192.168.0.101.
Subnet mask – The Subnet mask that is stored on the E-1608-OEM . The subnet mask determines the
number of bits of the IP address that is used for the host portion of the address vs. the number of bits used
for the network portion. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.000
Gateway – The gateway IP address that is stored on the E-1608-OEM. The gateway address of the device
that bridges subnets within a network. The default gateway is 192.168.0.1
Connection code
The connection code is a number between 0 (default) and 999999999. Change this number from its default of 0
to prevent other users from connecting to and configuring the device. The device remains visible to other users
on the network, but connection by another user is not allowed.
