Communication
The Encoder can be controlled and managed with either the out-of-band network port located on
the front panel or via the RS232 serial port. In-band management through the TS port is possible as
well.
Network Management
Initially, the simplest way to setup the networked PC to communicate with the VL4500 is to put the PC
on the same subnet as the VL4500. The default IP address of the VL4500 management port is:
192.168.16.252
NOTE: The static IP of the computer cannot be the same as the static IP of the VL4500.
The following steps explain how to change the IP address of a computer running windows 7:
1. On your computer, open the "Control Panel"
2. Click on “Network and Internet”
3. Click on the "View network status and tasks"
4. Click on “Change Adapter Settings” on left hand side of the window
5. Right-click on the "Local Area Connection", and then click on the "properties".
6. A dialog box entitled "Local Area Connection Properties" will appear. In this box, double-
click on the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)".
7. A dialog box entitled "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties" will appear.
8. Select the "Use the following IP address" option and enter the following addresses:
IP address: 192.168.16.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
9. Click OK to close the dialog box. Now your computer is ready to communicate with the
unit.
