MANTECH Burets have a static IP address assigned to them. These addresses can be changed if there are communication issues between the Buret and the software. To avoid IP address conflicts, MANTECH recommends that all Burets on the same network have unique IP addresses, not just ones on the same system. If an IP address needs to be changed, then you can manually change it using the following steps:
1.Open the Network and Sharing Centre on your computer through the advanced network settings, or through searching on the Control Panel.
2. Open Command Prompt on your computer by searching it in your Windows Search Engine.
3. Extract this folder to your computer.
4. Plug in the burette. In the Network and Sharing Centre, find the active network for the buret (ethernet connection) and open the properties by selecting the blue “Ethernet”. Open the properties.
5. Internet Protocol Version 6 should be unselected, and Internet Version 4 should be selected. Click OK and open the Details for the ethernet status. The Value for IPv4 Address should be 192.168.1.1. If not, change the IP address in the Internet Protocol Version 4 properties.
6. In Command Prompt, type in ping and the IP address found on the back of the buret and then the enter key. For example, “ping 192.168.1.50” without the quotations and the enter key. The
buret should reply.
7. Open the Buret_IP_Change folder now on your computer and open the application that is in the bin
subfolder.
8. Type in the IP address and “Connect”. Click OK. Then type in the new IP address and select “Set IP”.
9. In Command Prompt again, ping the new IP address to ensure it works.
Specific notes:
- If the IP address is not known, then in command prompt, type in “arp -a” without the quotes and the IP address for the buret will be given as the first line under the IPv4 Address Value. This can be done after Step 5.
- If using PC-titrate, ensure that the version used is 889 or later. Previous versions do not support the ethernet Burets without an upgrade. Contact [email protected] for the ethernet buret software upgrade.
- If using MANTECH Pro, you can find the IP address of the buret (if it is not the one already in the address line) in hardware configuration using the “Configure Adapter”. The software will find the IP address that works for that buret and can be used to test the ping as well for buret response.
