5.9.1 Setting the IP Address (0)
Various options can be controlled by setting the IP address. For static IP address operation the
IP address should be set to the address assigned by the IT department or other authority. Other
IP address options are as follows.
If the IP address is set to 0.0.0.0 DHCP is enabled. (Factory Default)
If the IP address is set to 0.0.1.0 DHCP is enabled and AutoIP is disabled.
If the IP address is set to 0.0.9.0 DHCP is enabled, DHCP option 81 is disabled, and AutoIP is
disabled.
To change the IP Address select option 0 from the setup menu by typing a 0 followed by “Enter”.
The following screen will appear.
The current value of the first
octet of the IP address will be
shown in parenthesis. This
indicates that the first octet of
the IP address is 0. To
change the octet, type the
new number followed by
“Enter”. To move on without
making any changes, just type
”Enter”.
In this example the first octet
of the IP address was
changed to 192.
Continue entering each octet
of the IP address until all 4
octets have been entered. To
skip any entry without making
any changes type “Enter”
without typing any numbers.
Next the Site Controller will ask if you would like to set the Gateway IP Address. The Gateway
address is required for the Site Controller to initiate communications with other devices on the
network; such as the time or
email servers. This address
is obtained automatically
when running with DHCP,
however when a static IP
address is assigned to the
Site Controller the Gateway
Address must be set
manually. The Gateway Address is normally set to the IP Address of the first router encountered
by outbound network traffic. To change the address, type a “Y” and enter the IP address as
described above. To skip the address, type an “N”.
