The IMS - qkuro is supplied with a default IP address of 192.168.1.127 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.  If this is suitable for your network then go to network settings.

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

The qkuro depends upon SNTP for precision timekeeping. This means that it must have access to an SNTP server, either locally, or over the internet. The protocol uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) on port number 123.
A local network DNS server or gateway is often an SNTP time server and may be used in preference to allowing connection to an off site service. A PC can also be used as an SNTP server as long as it is always available.

The url or IP address for an SNTP, Simple Network Time Protocol, server may be entered into the qkuro but this will not normally be required as the device will automatically find a time server from a pool of servers available on the internet. If an address is entered and no response is obtained from the url or the IP address then the unit will still try to obtain the correct time from the internet SNTP server pool at pool.ntp.org as recommended in the RFC. This requires acess to an internet gateway and a valid DNS server address to be entered in the network setting page.

To change the IMS - qkuro IP address.

Connect the IMS - qkuro to an Ethernet equipped standalone PC using the CAT5 cable and crossover coupler supplied with the IMS - qkuro .

Open a DOS window to access a command prompt. [Start menu / Accessories / Command Prompts].

At the command prompt enter,

arp  -s [required IP address from table] 
        [IMS - qkuro  MAC address from serial No. label]

For example:  

arp –s  192.168.123.42  00-1B-E5-10-10-09    
will add a static entry to the arp table for a IMS - qkuro at 192.168.123.42.

Enable the temporary IP address in the IMS - qkuro by pinging it with a packet of length 102.

  ping –l 102 [required IP address] 

Open an internet explorer window and enter the permanent IP address for the IMS - qkuro in the Address bar. The temporary address set above will be lost when power is removed from the IMS - qkuro .

Network Settings – setting a permanent IP address

Once the IMS - qkuro web page appears enter http://IP-address/network.html and enter the values from the table above. You will need to have Javascript enabled in the browser. Make sure that network.html is typed in lower case letters. You will also need to be in configuration mode in order to make changes to the configuration of the IMS - qkuro . If the form fields are greyed out in IE then the IMS - qkuro is in operator mode and not configuration mode. Configuration mode can be selected in Setup_1.html and the correct password entered. If two password fields are shown then a password has not yet been set in the IMS - qkuro and the configuration is unprotected.

Turning power to the IMS - qkuro off, waiting 5 seconds, and then reapplying power will complete the network configuration for the IMS - qkuro


Notes

1

Domain Name Server (DNS)

Only required for automatic remote data logging.
A DNS Server is a host that translates plain text host names into the numeric addresses needed to make a connection.
For example, IMS - qkuro .co.uk will be converted to 219.19.81.154 by a DNS server.
Data logging with the ftp client option will require access to a DNS server.

2

IMS - qkuro MAC Address

The IMS - qkuro MAC address is fixed at the time of manufacture and printed on the serial number label. An option to add an alternative MAC address is available.

3

Gateway Address

A network is usually divided into a number of more manageable and smaller sub-networks. Gateways, or routers, are relied upon to transfer traffic between these networks. Gateways may also provide access to external networks and the internet.

4

ARP in Windows 95

Windows 95 requires the arp table to have at least one other entry other than its own.
At the DOS command prompt enter ARP –A to show all the ARP entries in the ARP table.
Ping another PC on the network to add any required additional entry. This is not required in Windows 98 or later Windows versions.
