Assigning a Static IP to the NetLinx Master
1.
Select Diagnostics > Network Addresses from the Main menu to access the Network Addresses dialog
(FIG. 22).
DO NOT enter ANY IP information at this time; this step only gets the System Master
to recognize that it should begin using an obtained DHCP Address.
If the IP Address field is empty, give the Master a few minutes to negotiate a DHCP
Address with the DHCP Server, and try again. The DHCP Server can take anywhere
from a few seconds to a few minutes to provide the Master with an IP Address.
Verify that these IP values are also entered into the related fields within either the
IP Settings section of the System Connection page (on the touch panel) or within the
Address field on the web browser.
Verify that the Controller has an active LAN connection before beginning these
procedures.
