Ethernet Setup for the S2T

Ethernet communications with the S2T CPU is done through the GEN651A Ethernet module.
Prior to using this module, it must be configured using the EtherSetup_E setup software. The
EtherSetup_E software is used to configure the network parameters (IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Multicast Addresses) in the GEN651A Ethernet module. When all the following
setup steps described below are completed, Ethernet connection to the S2T through the
GEN651A Ethernet module will be possible. There are two methods of connection:

● T-PDS (Toshiba Program Development Software). ● UDP/IP Socket Interface.

Setup GEN651 Ethernet Module

This module must be setup 1st before either of the connections methods are possible.

1, Install the EtherSetup_E software on an MS Windows computer. See the installation
instructions in the User’s Guide for the Ethernet Module Parameter Setting Tool, 6F8C1103.

2, Set the network parameters in the GEN651A module.

2.1 Set the DIP switches on the front of the EN6651A to enable setting the network

parameters from the EtherSet_E. Set DIP Switches 7 & 8 to ON (Note: 7 & 8 are the top

two switches).

2.2 Mount the EN651A on the S2T rack, then turn on power.

2.3 Connect PC and EN6651A with the V-Tool cable (standard RS232C cross cable).

2.4 Run the EtherSet_E software on the PC.

2.5 Click the Read button on the EtherSetup_E screen. The current settings are read from
the GEN651A and are displayed on the screen.

On reading a module for the

st

time, settings will appear as

1
shown to the left.

2.6 Click the Option button. Set the required parameters, then click the Write button to
write into GEN651A module.

2.7 Close the EtherSetup_E software. DIP Switches 7 and 8 must be left in the ON position
for T-PDS to work through the GEN651A module.

2.8 Cycle Power on the GEN651A module.

The new IP address will not be valid until

power is cycled on the module.

This completes setup of the GEN651A Ethernet module. If the EtherSetup_E can not establish
communications with the GEN651A, please make sure:

1. The computer is connected directly to the GEN651A using as RS232 cross cable.

2. The EtherSetup_E software is using the correct Com Port setting.

3. No other computer software is running that uses the computer’s RS232 port.

T-PDS Setup

In addition to setting up the Ethernet module, network parameters must be setup in two
additional places; the computer’s Ethernet card and the T-PDS software.

Assume the following settings were made in the EN651A Ethernet module with the
EtherSetup_E software.

Computer Ethernet Card Setup: The computer’s Ethernet card must be setup first. Go to

the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections. Find the Ethernet card, alternate
click on it and then click on Properties.

Note that the IP Address and Subnet Mast must be the same as set in T-PDS & the GEN651A
(the last digit of the IP Address must be different however, it cannot be .1 The address
of the GEN651A module is 172. 16.64.1 ). Click OK. In case of difficulty setting up the
computer Ethernet card, contact the company MIS/IT Department.
