Add RouterNode to WaveNet - WaveNet

If you want to use RouterNodes in your WaveNet, you must first import the RouterNodes into your WaveNet topology in the WaveNet Manager.

Option

Application situation

Find IP or USB router

Use this option if you have many RouterNodes with Ethernet interface connected to the same network. They must be on the same subnet, otherwise use Add: IP or USB router.

With this option, you do not have to determine each IP and then enter it manually.

Find Chip ID

Use this option to add RouterNodes without an Ethernet interface (see Transmission paths). Routers without an Ethernet interface do not have an IP address and can therefore only be found and added using the chip ID.

Add: IP or USB router

Use this option if you specifically want to add a RouterNode with Ethernet interface to your network. You must know the IP address (static / reserved) or the host name (DHCP).

These can also be located in a different subnet.

Find IP or USB router

  1. RouterNode connected to the network.
  2. WaveNet Manager opened via LSM (see Best Practice: From the LSM software)
  1. Right-click on the WaveNet_XX_X entry.
  2. The window Administration opens.
  3. Select the option Find IP or USB router.
  5. Click on the OK button.
  6. The Administration window closes.
  7. The Procedure started window opens temporarily.
  9. The window Use host names? opens.
  11. If the router is connected via DHCP and you have a working name resolution in the network, confirm with the button Yes to use the host name. If you have connected the router using a static IP address, click the No.
  12. The window Use host names? closes.
  13. The window Network options opens.
