2 ABOUT IPTOOL
IPTool is a software tool for use when initially setting up IQ system Ethernet devices. It is also useful for fault
finding IQ networks running over Ethernet.
Compatibility
IPTool is able to communicate with IQ3 controllers, 3xtend/EINC L, EINC version 4.2 or greater, IQView, NXIP,
NXNI, and other new generation IQ system Ethernet networked products on the same network segment. IPTool v1.4
or greater is required to set up the addressing mode of IQ3 controllers v1.3 or greater and 3xtend/EINC L v1.2 or
greater.
2.1 The IPTool Window
The IPTool Window , shown below, enables of all the IQ system Ethernet devices on a particular Ethernet network
segment to be discovered, and their network settings viewed, and set up. Once the devices have been discovered
their settings can be viewed to look for duplicate address, settings that have not been configured, or settings that are
incorrect. IPTool makes it simple to set up the address settings of IQ system Ethernet devices e.g. IQ3 controllers.
The configuration of the virtual CNCs inside these devices is made easy, and the facility to check that the CNC
exists, and create a TUA to access it reduces any errors that may otherwise occur.
Column Description
IP address The device’s IP address. The column also displays some icons that indicate whether the device is
on the same subnet, as the PC or on a different one.
Device is on the same subnet.

does not check for this.
6. Click OK. The check will now be performed. When the check is complete a dialogue box will show the
results.
4.1.2 Configure Address Settings
Before attempting to configure a device’s address settings ensure that it has been installed according to the supplied
installation instructions.
To configure address settings:
1. Make the physical connection to the network segment as described in the ‘Make the Physical Connections’
section of this manual.
2. Run IPTool as described in the ‘Run IPTool’ section of this manual.
3. In the Devices List, click the device that is to be configured. Its settings will be displayed in the Editing
Panel.
You should be able to identify a particular device by its unique MAC address, this appears in the list, and
on a label on the device. Therefore if you are connected to the device over the Ethernet network, and not
directly into the device’s Ethernet connector you will need to goto the device, and make a note of the MAC
address.
4. Before attempting to make any changes check that the device’s mode is not set to LOCKED ( ) if it is
you will be unable to make any changes.
5. If you want to ensure that the data in the Editing Panel is not refreshed while you are making changes
select the Lock for Editing check box.
6. If the IP address, subnet mask, and default router WINS server and DNS server are to be obtained from a
DHCP server select the Auto-ip-DHCP check box and goto step (12), otherwise goto step (8).
If configuring an EINC, use of a DHCP server is not supported; the DHCP check box is replaced with the
Auto-ip-switch check box. Selecting the Auto-ip-switch check box sets the EINC’s IP address to 128.1.1.
<address switch setting> (e.g. if the address is 80 the IP address would be 128.1.1.80).
Note that not all IQ system Ethernet products support using a DHCP server, if this is the case the DHCP
check box will be disabled. Also note that the manual configuration of a DNS server is not possible using
IPTool if this is required it must by done using SET, or on the device itself.
7. In the ip address box enter the device's IP address. It is important that the IP address for each device on the
network is unique. IP address in the following ranges should not be used:
IP Address Reason
127.x.x.x.x Reserved for loopback.
Non masked part of IP The non masked part of the IP address cannot be all 1’s or 0’s e.g. if IP address
address is 1.2.x.x and subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 then x.x. cannot be either 255.255 or
0.0.
224.0.0.0 to Reserved for multicast.
239.255.255.255
Addresses 240.0.0.0 to Reserved for experimentation and development.
247.255.255.255
x.x.x.255 Reserved for broadcast.
If the Ethernet network to which the device is connected has a DHCP server and the device is not obtaining
its settings form the DHCP server it is important to ensure that the IP address of the device is outside the
range of IP addresses assigned by the server. If this is not the case, the DHCP server may assign the IP
address to another device.
8. In the subnet mask box enter the required subnet mask. The subnet mask must ensure that all devices for
the same internetwork, which are not separated by routers, are on the same subnet. Therefore all devices
that are not separated by routers should have the same subnet mask.
9. In the default router box enter the IP address of the default router. It should be set to the IP address of a
router on the same subnet. To check the default router is reachable click Ping next to the default router
box. For more information see the ‘Check a Device is Reachable’ section of this manual.
10. If a WINS server is being used in the wins server box enter the IP address of the WINS server. To check
the WINS server is reachable click Ping next to the default router box. For more information see the
‘Check a Device is Reachable’ section of this manual.
11. In the inet group ( udp) box enter the UDP port the device is to use to communicate with other IQ system
devices on the Ethernet network. All IQ system devices used to create an internetwork must use the same
port the default for all IQ system devices is 57612.
12. In the lan box enter the device’s Lan number. This can be in the range 1 to 119 excluding addresses 2, 3,
and 10.
13. In the node box enter the device’s network address. This can be in the range 1 to 119 excluding addresses
2, 3, and 10.
Note that not all devices require the Lan number and node address to be specified.
14. In the identifier box enter the device’s identifier.
Tip it is recommended that to prevent confusion where possible the identifier and hostname are set to be the
same.
16. If host names are to be used to address the device in the hostname box enter the device’s hostname.
The host name is separate from the Identifier. It must be unique on the network, and must not be greater
than 15-characters in length and can only contain 7-bit ASCII characters in the range A-Z, a-z or 0-9 plus ‘-
‘ or ‘_. It must start with a character in the range A-Z or a-z and must not end with ‘-‘ or ‘_’.
17. If the device is to form part of an internetwork that spans routers it is necessary to set up the Remote Trend
Devices Table as described in the ‘Setup the Remote Trend Devices Table section of this manual.
It is recommended that the remote Trend devices table be placed in all IQ system devices on the Ethernet
network and include the details of at least two devices from each subnet to be linked by the internetwork.
For increased reliability details of additional devices should be specified. If automatic addressing is being
used the devices must be specified using host names, and if manual addressing is being used the list should
contain the devices with the lowest IP addresses.
19. If a PC is to connect to the IQ network via one of the device’s virtual CNCs, or the device is to send alarms
to a supervisor over Ethernet set up the virtual CNCs, as described in the ‘Set up Virtual CNCs’ sections of
this manual. To check the host device for the virtual CNC is reachable from the PC running IPTool click
Ping next to the IP address of the host device. For more information see the ‘Check a Device is Reachable’
section of this manual.
20. Click WRITE DATA.
4. If there is more than one network adaptor is available on the PC the Choose Primary Ethernet Adapter
dialogue box is displayed, goto (4), otherwise the process is complete.
5. Click the network adapter whose network settings are to be used by IP Tool to determine whether a device
is on the same network as the PC.
6. For Windows 7 it is possible to limit communication to only the selected adaptor by selecting the 1 Only
check box. If this check box is left cleared and for all other operating systems communications will be sent
using all adaptors.
7. Click OK.
Once the list is displayed it is possible to make changes to the settings of the selected devices by specifying
the required setting and then clicking WRITE DATA. It is possible to add virtual CNCs, check the device
is reachable, create a TUA for a virtual CNC, import/export data to/from SET, set up virtual CNCs set up
the Remote Trend Devices Table, set up device addressing, the view remote devices, or view an IQ3
Controller's Web pages
The list can be cleared by clicking clear list, and updated by clicking Search For Trend Devices. When a
device is selected clicking Refresh will update its data.
Note that if the local network segment is very large, or very busy all the devices may not reply, and clicking
Search For Trend Devices may be required.
Note that IPTool uses port 65534 and may be block by the PC's personal firewall.
If a device is not reachable a dialogue box similar to the one shown below is displayed.
This could be because the device is switched off, or the IP network is not set up for the PC running IPTool
to communicate with the host.
Note that before checking that a device is reachable ensure that any data changed by IPTool has been written to the
device.
4.2.2 Clear the List of Devices

4.2.16.1 Set up a Virtual CNC in Alarm Mode
The alarm mode of a virtual CNC enables alarms generated from IQ controllers or other devices to be transmitted to
a PC running a suitable supervisor (963) connected to the Ethernet network where the connection to the virtual CNC
is of a temporary nature. An IQ controller can send its alarms to the virtual CNC using normal IQ system Lan/device
addressing, and the virtual CNC will forward the alarms to the PC using the port and the alarm IP address, specified
in the virtual CNC. The supervisor listens for alarms on the specified port, and retrieves the site identities, Lan
numbers, and device addresses of any alarms it receives so that it can process them further. To set up a virtual CNC
in alarm mode its IQ network address must be specified, along with its port address, and the IP address to which it is
to send alarms.
Note that the alarm mode of a virtual CNC is not available in IQ3 controllers. IP alarms should be sent using the
IQ3's ability to send IP alarms directly to a supervisor.
To set up a virtual CNC in alarm mode:
1. Make the physical connection to the network segment as described in the ‘Make the Physical Connections’
section of this manual.
2. Run IPTool as described in the ‘Run IPTool’ section of this manual.
3. In the Devices List, click the device for which the virtual CNC is to be set up.
4. In the list of virtual CNC’s double click the virtual CNC that is to be set up. The Virtual CNC Setup
dialogue box is displayed. If the virtual CNC does not appear in the list of virtual CNCs double click a
blank line in the list to add a virtual CNC as described in the ‘Add a Virtual CNC’ section of this manual.
5. In the Node box enter the network address of the virtual CNC. It can be set to any valid address (1 to 119
excluding addresses 2, 3, and 10). 0 will disable the virtual CNC.
6. Specify the TCP port used by virtual CNC. It is recommended that the port number be set to 2774, as this is
the port number that supervisors expect the virtual CNC to use.
To specify a port manually clear the Use Default Port check box and in the Port box enter the
required port number.
To force the default port number to be used select the Use Default Port check box this will cause the
port number to be set to 10000 plus the IQ network address i.e. if the network address is set to 4 the
TCP port would be i.e. 10004.
Take note of the port number because if software is to receive alarms from the virtual CNC it will need to
be told this number.
7. Select the Alarm check box.
8. If device to which the virtual CNC is to send its alarms is to be specified by its hostname select the Use
Hostname check box.
9. In the IP Addr box enter the IP address or hostname of the device to which the virtual CNC is to send its
alarms.
10. Click OK.
11. Click WRITE DATA. To check the host device for the virtual CNC is reachable from the PC running
IPTool click Ping next to the IP address of the host device. For more information see the ‘Check a Device
is Reachable’ section of this manual.
The virtual CNCs can be automatically numbered according to the standard rules by clicking Auto-Number
VCNCs see the ‘Autonumber Virtual CNCs’ section of this manual for more details.
5. In the Node box enter the network address of the virtual CNC. It can be set to any valid address (1 to 119
excluding addresses 2, 3, and 10). 0 will disable the virtual CNC.
6. Specify the TCP port used by virtual CNC.
To force the default port number to be used select the Use Default Port check box this will cause the
port number to be set to 10000 plus the IQ network address i.e. if the network address is set to 4 the
TCP port would be i.e. 10004.
To specify a port manually clear the Use Default Port check box and in the Port box enter the
required port number.
Take note of this port number because software that is to connect to the virtual CNC will require it to be
specified. A TUA can be created that will allow SET to access it by clicking Make TUA.
7. Click OK.
8. Click WRITE DATA. To check the host device for the virtual CNC is reachable from the PC running
IPTool click Ping next to the IP address of the host device. For more information see the ‘Check a Device
is Reachable’ section of this manual .
The virtual CNCs can be automatically numbered according to the standard rules by clicking Auto-Number
VCNCs see the ‘Autonumber Virtual CNCs’ section of this manual for more details.
