Baseline Systems FlowStation - Manual (Page 9)

FlowStation Quick Start Guide
If the FlowStation will connect to a stand-alone network, the static IP address for the FlowStation
will be based on the IP addresses that are assigned to other devices in the network.
1. Make sure the communication module in your FlowStation is powered up and communicating
with the network.
2. On the FlowStation, press the System Setup button. The System Setup menu displays.
3. Press the  button to highlight the Network Setup option, and then press the OK button to
select it. The Network Setup menu displays.
4. The IP Setup option should be highlighted. If it is not highlighted, press the  or  button to
highlight it, and then press the OK button. The IP Setup screen displays.
5. Press the + or – button to remove the
checkmark in the DHCP Enabled field. The
fields for the network settings display.
Note: For an explanation of the settings, refer
to Viewing the IP Information Screen in the
FlowStation User Manual.
6. Determine the static IP address that you will
assign to the FlowStation. The IP address is based on the IP addresses of the other devices on
the network, but it must have a unique last digit.
Example: The devices in your shared flow group are connected to a stand-alone network that
does not have Internet access. The communication modules in your FlowStation and
controllers have factory-assigned IP addresses in the range 192.168.111.100 -
192.168.111.105. You can set the static IP address on the FlowStation to 192.168.111.106.
7. Press the  button to highlight the first digits in the IP Addr field.
 Press the  or  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.
8. Press the  button to move to the Mask field. Use the procedure described in step 7 to move
within the digits and change the values. A typical value for the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
Note: Set the Subnet Mask for all devices in your shared flow group to the same value.
9. Press the  button to move to the Gateway field. Use the procedure described in step 7 to
move within the digits and change the values.
Example: For the IP addresses in the example for step 6, the value for the Default Gateway
would be 192.168.111.1.
Note: Set the Default Gateway for all devices in your shared flow group to the same value.
10. Press the  button to move to the DNS 1 field. Use the procedure described in step 7 to
move within the digits and change the values to match the Gateway setting.
11. Leave the DNS 2 field set to zeros.
