CDI-46 Installation and Setup Guide V1.0 17
This page displays the network settings for the currently selected CDI-46. The current IP Address, DHCP Status, Subnet
Mask, Gateway address and Server Name are confirmed. If DHCP is enabled, the values in IP Address, Subnet Mask
and Gateway are set automatically and the fields cannot be modified. If assigning these values (with DHCP disabled), ensure
that a suitable, reserved static IP address is used. This may require consultation with the network administrator.
Server Name – this field has a default value of ‘CDI46’. In an installation where several 46-120s are installed, it will probably
be more helpful if each is given a more meaningful name – possibly relating to the zones each covers.

Upload button to transfer any changes to the CDI-46.
HTTP Port, CDI Port and Parser Port: in the vast majority of installations, these network parameters will not need
adjustment. However, they are likely to become relevant if the CDI-46 is connected to an existing IT network. The correct
settings for these items will vary from one installation to another, and we recommend that the network administrator is
consulted as to the appropriate values.
HTTP Port – This is the virtual port that a browser will connect to. The default is universally “80”. It is sometimes changed for
firewalling or “security by obscurity” reasons. If this is the case, the value has to be specified in the browser URL with a colon,
e.g., http://cloud.co.uk:9000/ would be required if the HTTP port was set to 9000.
CDI Port – This is the TCP/IP port used by the CDI-46’s Ethernet to Serial Bridge functionality. See “Using the CDI-46 as an
Ethernet-to-serial bridge” on page 26 for more details.
Parser Port – This is the TCP/IP port used to receive serial control commands via Ethernet (instead of via RS-232)
