Configure.
Changing the IP configuration requires the password fitting the selected device. The
default password is "config". It can only be changed via PBpro ETH's web interface.
3.3.3 IP Basics
Following a short introduction to the Internet Protocol (IP) which can be useful in
integrating the PBpro ETH in your Local Area Network (LAN). If you are already familiar
with the basics of the Internet Protocol, you may skip this section.
IP (Internet Protocol)
Chapter 3 - PBpro ETH Administration
The Internet Protocol makes it possible to combine an undefined number of separate
networks to an overall network, allowing data exchange between any two network stations
in any two subnetworks. The physical characteristics of the networks or of the
transmission paths (Ethernet, Token Ring, ISDN, ...) are of no importance. The data will
be transferred to the receiver independently of these differences.
IP addresses
Under IP, every network station has a unique Internet address, often called "IP number".
This Internet address is a 32-bit value which is written, for better readability, in the form of
four decimal numbers (8-bit values) separated by dots (dot notation), e.g. 192.168.1.5. In
the future, 128-bit addresses will be used.
The Internet address consists of net ID and host ID, where the net ID is used to identify the
network and the host ID to identify the station within a network.
The network class defines, which part of the IP address belongs to the net ID and which
one to the host ID. For the addressing of normal networks, three network classes exist:
Class A, Class B and Class C:
Table 3: Key data of the different network classes
PBpro ETH - User Guide
19
Chapter 3 - PBpro ETH Administration
The default IP address setting of the PBpro ETH corresponds to class C. The first three
bytes of the IP address are used to identify the network. The last byte is used for
addressing the network station. The complete default IP address is 192.168.212.212.
Assignment of the host ID to the network station and, consequently, the resulting IP
address, can be selected as desired by the network operator (administrator). He must,
however, make sure that an IP address is unique throughout the entire network.
Gateway and subnet mask
The net ID indicates whether the receiver to which a connection is to be established, is
located in the same network as the transmitter. If this part of the IP address is identical for
the transmitter and the receiver, both are located in the same network. If the net IDs are
not identical, the receiver is located in a different network.
The networks can be connected by gateways/routers.
A network can be divided into subnetworks. The net ID defined by the different network
classes is not sufficient for addressing such subnets, however; part of the host ID must
be used for addressing the subnetworks. This means that the net ID is enlarged and the
host ID is reduced accordingly.
The subnetwork defines, which part of the IP address is evaluated as a net ID and which
one as a host ID. Like the IP address the subnet mask is a 32-bit value represented in dot
notation. In binary notation, the part of the subnet mask which corresponds to the net ID is
filled with "1" digits; the part corresponding to the host ID is filled with "0" digits. Example of
a subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
With each data packet to be transmitted, the IP driver compares its own IP address with
that of the receiver. Those bits of the subnet mask which are filled with 0-digits, are
masked off in the IP address. If the evaluated bits of both IP addresses are identical, both
stations are located in the same subnet. If this is not the case, the data packet must be
passed to the gateway or router for transfer to the target network.
Gateways or routers are basically simply computers with two network cards. Ethernet
data packets received on card A are unpacked by the Ethernet driver, and the IP packet
contained in the Ethernet packet is passed to the IP driver. This driver checks whether the
target IP address belongs to the subnet connected to card B and the packet can be
transferred directly, or whether the IP packet must be passed to another gateway. In this
way, a data packet can pass several gateways or routers on its way from one network
station to another.
In addition to routers connecting one Ethernet subnet with another one, there are also
routers which change the physical medium, e.g. from Ethernet to token ring or ISDN.
Broadcast address
20
A broadcast address is used to send a message to all stations in a subnetwork. It is
recommended to use the highest station address in a subnetwork as broadcast address
(i. e. the broadcast address is built by setting all bits of the host ID to "1"). The PBpro ETH
does not use the broadcast address, thus you may omit it.
PBpro ETH - User Guide
Chapter 3 - PBpro ETH Administration
Note
Before connecting the PBpro ETH to your LAN network, make sure that its
IP address is not used by another network station.
Note
It is not necessary to configure a default gateway if the computer and the
PBpro ETH are connected to the same subnet.
Note
How to assign a new IP address is described below. You must have
administrator rights.
Host name
An internet-connected machine may be addressed in either of two ways: by its IP address
or by its host name. The host name is a symbolic name (string), which can be memorized
more easily than an IP address. A Domain Name Service (DNS) is needed to translate a
host name to the related IP address.
3.3.4 Establishing a network connection between PC and PBpro ETH
The PBpro ETH is delivered with the preconfigured IP address 192.168.212.212. Connect
the PBpro ETH to your computer. For a direct connection, a cross-linking cable must be
used. This is not necessary if a hub or switch is interconnected.
The description below explains the establishment of a TCP/IP connection to your PBpro
ETH. Such a connection makes it possible to change the preconfigured IP address of the
PBpro ETH.
1. Ask your network administrator for the following information:
o IP address for the PBpro ETH
o Subnet mask
o IP address of the default gateway (if available)
2. Configure your computer in such a way that you have access to the network
192.168.212.0. For this purpose, you may have to assign your host a second IP
address (e.g. IP address = 192.168.212.211, net mask = 255.255.255.0, broadcast =
192.168.212.255).
Assign a second (local) IP address under Windows 7
a. Press the Windows start key or click the Windows Start menu button to open the
start menu. Then select Control Panel.
b. Select Network and Internet.

3. Try to ping the PBpro ETH. Open a command prompt and enter the following
command: "ping 192.168.212.212". The PBpro ETH should respond.
If it does not respond, check whether the PBpro ETH is correctly connected to the LAN
and whether it is switched on. Check also whether your computer is correctly
connected to the LAN by a cable. Check whether the computer has been configured
with a valid IP address from the subnet 192.168.212.0. Try to ping the second (local)
IP address of your computer (in the example, 192.168.212.211). If the local computer
does not respond, the second IP address has not been initialized correctly.

3.3.6 Reset to factory settings
If you cannot get access to the PBpro ETH, you may want to reset the device to the
default factory settings. For instance this may be necessary if the configuration password
got lost.

Important
Reset to factory settings is an ultimate means to regain access to a
device with an unknown password. The internal reset button is a very small
and sensitive component not meant for regular use. Use this button with
extreme care and only in case of necessity. Be careful not to push too hard.
This may damage the button and can also lead to permanent failure of the
PBpro ETH. Such damages are not covered by warranty.
To assure that only authorized personnel may perform a reset to factory settings this
action requires physical access to the PBpro ETH.
To reset, proceed as follows:
1. Remove power from the PBpro ETH
2. Carefully insert the tip of a ball pen into the hole labeled "Reset".
Figure 15: Activating the internal reset button with a ball pen (shown at an open
device)
3. While gently holding down the ball pen reassert power to the PBpro ETH.
4. After a few seconds an LED (single channel device:"RUN" , multi channel device:
"CON2") starts flashing 10 times per second.
5. As soon as the LED starts flashing you can remove the ball pen.
6. The reset process then takes roughly one minute with various LEDs flashing.
7. Finally, the "RUN" LED will shine solid green, indicating that PBpro ETH is operational.
