The scanner is delivered with a standard IP address, to read or change it the SICK SOPAS ET for windows can be used.
When the tool is started, a search is performed which lists all scanners available in the network.
Double-click to select the scanner for the project
double click on the scanner icon to open the configuration menu of the scanner
Select here the network configuration menu and set the parameters by clicking on the save icon (red arrow)
To ensure that the settings are retained even after a Powercycle, they must be stored in the eeprom. To do this, click on the eeprom icon and confirm the save.
To test the settings under Windows use the comandos ipconfig and ping in the cmd.exe. Make sure that the scanner and host pc have different ip addresses e.g. 192.168.0.110 for the pc and 192.168.0.71 for the scanner.
to test the settings under the Linux target system you can use netcat to check if a TCP connection to the scanner can be established
nc -z -v -w5 $SCANNERIPADDRESS 2112
the connection can be successfully established
unlike a ping, the connection attempt to the hostpc is not successful
