Obtaining the Master’s IP Address (using DHCP)
1.
Select Diagnostics > Network Addresses from the Main menu to access the Network Addresses dialog
(FIG. 21).
2.
Verify that both the System number corresponds to the System value previously assigned within the
Device Addressing tab and that zero (0) is entered into the Device field.
3.
Click the Get IP Information button to configure the on-board Master for DHCP usage and then read the
IP Address obtained from the DHCP Server.
By setting the system to its default value (#1), Modero panels that were set to
connect to the Master on another System value will not appear in the OnLine Tree
tab of the Workspace window.
For example: A Modero touch panel was previously set to System #2. The system is
then reset to its default setting of System #1 and then refreshed from within the
Workspace window. The panel will not reappear until the system is changed (from
within the System Connection page on the Modero) to match the new value and both
the Master and panel are rebooted.
Verify there is an active LAN connection on the LAN port of the NI-Series Controller
before beginning these procedures.
