Configuring the HAAS NGC

Overview

Before DataXchange can communicate with this system, the IP address must be set on the control. Most HAAS NGC controls support a wired or a wireless Ethernet connection.

For a wired connection

1. Select the Wired Connection tab in the Network tabbed menu.
2. Change the Wired Network Enabled setting to ON.
3. If your network has a DHCP server, you can let the network assign an IP address automatically. Change the Obtain Address Automatically setting to ON, and then press [F4] to complete the connection.
   If your network does not have a DHCP server, go to the next step.
4. Type the machine’s IP Address, the Subnet Mask address, the Default Gateway address, and the DNS Server name into their respective fields.
5. Press [F4] to save the settings.

For a wireless connection

This option lets your machine connect to an 802.11 wireless network.

Wireless network setup uses a wizard to scan for available networks and then set up the connection with your network information.

1. Select the Wireless Connection tab in the Network tabbed menu.
2. Press [F2] to scan for available networks.

The Connection Wizard displays a list of available networks, with their signal strengths and security types.

3. Use the cursor arrow keys to highlight the network you want to connect to.
4. Press [ENTER]. The network settings table appears.

5. Type the access point password in the Password field.
6. If your network does not have a DHCP server, change the DHCP Enabled setting to OFF and type the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server Address into their respective fields.
7. Press [F4] to complete the connection.
