Hello,

It looks crazy but I can't find how to change the IP adress of my controller with GalilTools.

I have used SmartTerm for some time (last 2 years) and now I wanted to "learn" the new tool whilst developping a new application.

I see there is no need to "register" the controller with galilTools, but I want to change its current IP and I can't find how...

Thanks in advance!!

Connect to the controller and issue the IA command.

For instance, if you want to change the IP address to 192.168.1.100 the command would be
IA192,168,1,100
(use commas "," instead of periods ".")

It is recommended to issue the IA command through a serial connection. You can do this over an Ethernet connection but you will receive a timeout once the IA command is issued.

If the controller does not have an IP address assigned, then you can assign the IP address through the "No IP Address" tab in the connections dialog.

Also, if you have a DMC-40x0 or an RIO-47xxx you will need to issue the command DH0 before you change the IP address.

Once you issue the DH0 command you will be able to assign the IP address through the No IP Address tab. Or if you are connected over serial you can then issue the IA command as stated above.
