The network settings are configured through the CM1-T Configuration Tool application which connects to the USB on the back of the motor. This application also allows you to read the currently configured settings.
The following network parameters are available in the tool:
Parameter | Read/Write | Description |
---|---|---|
Firmware Version | Read | Current CM1-T firmware version |
MAC Address | Read | MAC address of the CM1-T |
Current IP Address | Read | The IP address that the CM1-T is currently using |
DHCP Enabled | Read/Write | Indicates whether the CM1-T should use DHCP or a static IP |
IP Address | Read/Write | IP address if DHCP is not enabled |
Default Gateway | Read/Write | Default gateway if DHCP is not enabled |
Subnet Mask | Read/Write | Subnet mask if DHCP is not enabled |
The IP on the Cool Muscle can be set as static or configured to use DHCP to assign the IP.
The CM1-T must be on the same network as a DHCP server to use the DHCP option. The CM1-T will be assigned an IP automatically by the server. This IP can be seen in the "Current IP Address" box. In addition Control Room can search for the CM1-T in the Connection tab of Control room.
To set to DHCP:
The main status LED on the motor will flash green while it is waiting to be assigned an IP address. It will be solid green if an IP has been assigned.
THE DHCP search will not time out.
The CM1-T can be assigned an IP address, default gateway and subnet mask. In addition the final octet in the IP can be set by the rotary switches on the side of the motor.
To set to static IP:
The rotary switches can be used to assign the last value (octet) of the IP. Set the final number of the static IP to 0 to enable the rotary switches.
Examples:
Static IP | x10 Value | x1 Value | Final IP address assigned |
