2. Configuring the IP Address on the TallyMan

 

In order to change the IP Address configuration on the TM1 MK1, an RS232 Serial Connection will be needed to a PC running one of the following terminal programs:

 

  • HyperTerminal
  • Putty
  • Tera Term

 

Ensure the serial connection into the TallyMan is on Port 3, the Maintenance Port.

 

Using HyperTerminal

 

On opening HyperTerminal, The Settings should be as below and ensure the right COM Port is used.

 

 

 

Start HyperTerminal and then power the TallyMan and wait for approximately 10 seconds. Press Y on the keyboard within 1 second of the message appearing and follow the on-screen instruction as below:

 

 

• Pressing S or Enter on the PC’s keyboard will set the TallyMan units as the Main Unit

• Pressing C will set it as a Controller so that it may be an Object in the system tree under a Main Controller,   this is not necessary to share objects and tally information between controllers, more information on object sharing can be found in the sharing objects section of the TallyMan configuration manual.

• Pressing B will set the unit as a Redundant Backup unit. See the section on Backup for information on how to use this facility.

• Pressing D will delete the current setup file; pressing any other key will allow access to the IP settings.

• Pressing Y will revert the unit to factory software and will downgrade the unit to the previous version of the TallyMan Program provided that an upgrade has taken place in the field.

• IP Addresses are set as shown. If no entry is made and Enter in the PC’s keyboard is pressed the original settings will be kept. When all settings are correct remove the RS232 cable and re-power the unit.
