Configuring network settings
The following E-1608-OEM network settings are software-selectable. Only one user at a time can connect to
the E-1608-OEM to configure network options on the device. For typical local networks, the default settings are
recommended.
Address mode settings
The address mode setting determines whether the default IP parameters (IPv4 address, subnet mask, and
gateway) are assigned to the E-1608-OEM or an auto-addressing method is used to assign these parameters.
DHCP or link-local enabled (default)
If connected to a network with a DHCP server, the service automatically assigns IP addresses to the E-1608-
OEM.
If the connected network does not have a DHCP server, the address stored in the default IP address is assigned
to the E-1608-OEM.
If the E-1608-OEM is directly connected to a Windows PC, a link-local address is assigned to the device. A
link-local address is valid only for communications between the E-1608-OEM and the PC to which it is
connected
DHCP Only
Enables configuration by a DHCP server if one is available. The E-1608-OEM is assigned an IP address shortly
after it is powered up and attached to the network.
Link Local Only
The E-1608-OEM is assigned a link-local IP address by the Windows PC to which it is connected. A link-local
address is valid only for communications between the E-1608-OEM and the PC to which it is connected.
Static
The default IPv4 Address is manually configured on the E-1608-OEM.
IP address settings
The default settings of the following IP address are assigned to the E-1608-OEM when automatic addressing is
disabled or not available (DHCP or Link Local for example)

IPv4 address – The IP address that is stored on the device. The default IPv4 address is 192.168.0.101.

Subnet mask – The Subnet mask that is stored on the E-1608-OEM . The subnet mask determines the
number of bits of the IP address that is used for the host portion of the address vs. the number of bits used
for the network portion. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.000

Gateway – The gateway IP address that is stored on the E-1608-OEM. The gateway address of the device
that bridges subnets within a network. The default gateway is 192.168.0.1
Connection code
The connection code is a number between 0 (default) and 999999999. Change this number from its default of 0
to prevent other users from connecting to and configuring the device. The device remains visible to other users
on the network, but connection by another user is not allowed.
