Configure Ethernet and local network access for Giesen Profiler on macOS

Use this article to configure the macOS Ethernet adapter and local network access for a supported W-series roaster. For the complete connection procedure and confirmed machine details, start with Connect a W series roaster via Ethernet.

Record the adapter’s existing settings before changing them. Use an unused computer address in the same subnet as the confirmed roaster address. Never give the computer the roaster’s address. On a managed network, ask your network administrator for the correct settings.

Direct-connection example

Use this example only if your confirmed roaster address is 172.30.30.50 and its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. An available computer address could be 172.30.30.230, with the same subnet mask. Other roaster addresses or subnet masks require different settings. Controller version means the roaster’s PLC version, not the Profiler version.

Configure macOS

  1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the designated roaster network port. Use a suitable Ethernet adapter if needed.
  2. Open Apple menu → System Settings → Network.
  3. Select the Ethernet service connected to the roaster, then open Details → TCP/IP.
  4. Set Configure IPv4 to Manually.
  5. Enter the agreed computer address, subnet mask and any router details from your network administrator.
  6. Confirm with OK or Apply.

Older macOS versions use System Preferences. See Apple’s TCP/IP settings instructions.

Allow local network access

Where available, open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network, enable access for Profiler and reopen the app if necessary.

Check network reachability

Open Terminal and enter ping followed by the confirmed roaster address, for example ping 172.30.30.50. Stop the command with Control+C. If no reply arrives, check the cable, Ethernet adapter, selected network service, address settings and local network permissions. Internet for sign-in or cloud sync must be arranged separately.

Continue in Profiler

A ping response confirms network reachability only. Return to Connect a W series roaster via Ethernet, continue at 4 Add the roaster in Profiler and check current readings against the machine. A new connection attempts to connect when you choose Save.

If you use this adapter on another network later, restore its original settings or follow your network administrator’s instructions. For help, email support@giesen.com with your Profiler version, model, serial number, network setup and exact message.
