Ethernet Connection – Toolkit
- If you are unable to determine the GRIDlink IP Address then it is recommended to connect by serial cable using the DB9-RJ45 converter provided. See link
- If you wish to connect by Ethernet and do not know the IP address, open GRIDview and see the IP address in the upper right as shown. In this case it is 10.252.242.54
- Note GRIDlinks are shipped DHCP unless otherwise ordered. You should plug GRIDlink into an open DHCP network to insure connectivity.
