Setting Up a Static IP Address

While DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the default network configuration for the

BaseStation 3200 network connection, some situations, such as private network configurations or

network security issues might require that you configure a static IP address for your controller.

1. Connect and configure the communication module. Check the status lights and indicators on

your communication equipment to ensure that it is powered up and appears to be sending

and receiving data.

2. Turn the dial to the Network position.

3. Press the Next button to highlight the

Ethernet Setup option, and then press Enter.

The Setup Ethernet screen displays.

4. In the IP Address Mode field, press the + or

button to change the value to Static IP.

Note: Ask your network administrator for the

settings. For a definition of the fields on the

Setup Ethernet screen, refer to Understanding

the Ethernet Settings on page 91.

5. Press the Next button to highlight the first

digits in the IP Addr field.

Press the Previous or Next button to move to the digits that you want to change.

Press the + or button to change the value in the field.

Note: To rapidly increase or decrease the value, press and hold the + button or the button.

6. Press the Next button to move to the other

fields that you need to change. Use the

procedure described in step 5 to move

within the digits and change the values.

7. To view the status of your network

connection, turn the dial to the RUN

position, and view the status in the

BaseMgr field.
