FAQ
How is the EA-1 Ethernet Adapter powered?
What is included in the box with the EA-1?
How can I control the sensor via the EA-1 device?
There are three ways to connect to the EA-1 adapter:
- Telnet:
Establish a connection using the IP address of the EA-1. The host (e.g., PC) is considered the “client,” while the EA-1 is the “server.” - HTTP:
The IP address of the EA-1 should be entered into a regular web browser. This will show a top-level “web-page” with several buttons for accessing lower level pages. Commands can also be sent directly with the HTTP protocol. Client and server status are the same as above (Telnet). - USB virtual COM port:
For configuration and initialization only. This can be used to set the IP address for the first time or switch between dynamic and static IP address modes.
More details can be found in the EA-1 manual.
CloseCan I write my own software to work with EA-1 Adapter?
What sensors does the EA-1 Ethernet Adapter work with?
Thermal, photodiode, and BeamTrack (power/position/size) sensors; pyroelectric and photodiode energy sensors; standard and smart plug (“-SH”) OEM sensors. (Note that the OphirEthernetApp PC Application does not support BeamTrack, but BeamTrack can be controlled by using commands.)
CloseHow do I set the IP address of the EA-1 Ethernet Adapter?
The device is shipped with these defaults:
IP Address .................................... | 10.0.0.2 |
Subnet Mask ................................. | 255.255.255.0 |
Default Gateway ............................ | 10.0.0.1 |
User Device Name ......................... | (blank) |
IP Address allocation ...................... | static (DHCP disabled) |
The IP address can be set via HTTP, Telnet, USB virtual COM port, or the “OphirEthernetApp” software. See Chapter 2 of the manual for step-by-step instructions for each method.

System Integrators
Besides their use as stand-alone, fully featured laser power/energy meters, Ophir devices are easily incorporated into larger end user applications. This allows system integrators to leverage Ophir's excellence in measurement capabilities with legacy analysis packages.
Ophir provides all the details for integrating the EA-1 device in the EA-1 user manual.
System Integrators will need the following components:
- Standard mini-B USB cable (P/N 7E01217) for use with the EA-1 device (included).
- Ethernet Cross Cable (P/N 7E01192) for use with the EA-1 device (included).
