      How to Configure iProd IoT Tablet with LAN + PoE

      Step-by-step guide to configure your iProd IoT Tablet when the company network and the machine are separate.

      LAN + PoE Configuration

      If your network setup resembles the one shown in Figure 2, you need to configure the LAN network card so that the iProd-Tablet can communicate with the company network, and also configure the second LAN card to communicate with the machine.

      Follow these steps:

      1. Refer to the LAN/PoE Configuration Guide: First, configure the network card that will communicate with the company network.

      2. Configure the Second LAN Network Card: This card is connected to the cable leading to the machine. Follow these steps:

        • Access the Windows desktop and right-click on the Network and Internet icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen.

        • Select Open Network and Sharing Center.

        • Click on Change Adapter Settings.

        • If the Ethernet 2 network card is Disabled (you'll notice the icon with two gray monitors), enable it:

          • Right-click on the network card icon and select Enable from the menu. The two monitors should turn blue.

      2. Modify Network Adapter Properties: To modify the network adapter's properties, right-click on the icon of the network card and select Properties.

      3. Configure IPv4 Settings:

        • In the Properties window, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click Properties.

        • A screen will appear showing the system's IP addresses. Enter the static IP address you want to assign to the device.

        • Fill in the Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS fields as needed to allow the device to access local networks, the web, etc.

      4. Apply Settings:

        • Check the box next to Use the following IP addresses, click OK, and close the window.

        Once the correct IP is assigned to the device, it should be visible on the client’s network.

        Note: The LAN network administrator can modify these addresses as needed to give the device proper network properties, web access, and visibility on specific networks.
