This section describes application and configuration of the Remote Interface Software which is shipped with XR Series MagnaDC power supply. This software provides the user with a quick method to operate a MagnaDC power supply under computer control. The software can be configured for a number of communication interfaces; Ethernet is included as one of these interfaces.

To use the Remote Interface Software with optional Ethernet communications, the address parameters in the Remote Interface Software and that encoded in the MagnaDC power supply must match. The factory default for DHCP is 1 (on) allowing the IP address to be automatically set by the DHCP server on the network. If DHCP is off and the address is unknown, the device can be located using the Remote Interface Software supplied with the MagnaDC power supply. To access discovery, press Find Device in the Communication Setup menu. The routine scans all the devices on the network and provides their addresses and identifications. Select the desired device and press OK; this automatically changes the address in the Communication Setup. The same result can be achieved with a double click on the desired device. After communications is established, the address of the device may be changed by pressing Change Device’s Settings.
