4.3.4.2 Configuring the IP Address Manually (Static Address)
When connecting directly from PositionServo drive to the PC without a DHCP server or when connecting to a
private network (where all devices have static IP addresses) the IP address of the PositionServo drive will need
to be assigned manually.
To assign the address manually, the drive must have its DHCP mode disabled. This can be done using the
drive keypad and display. Press the recessed ‘mode’ button ( ) on the display and use the “UP” and “DOWN”
buttons (p q) to access parameter ‘DHCP’. Check this parameter is set to a value of ‘0’. If the DHCP parameter
is set to ‘1’ then use the ‘mode’ ( ) and down (q) arrows to set to ‘0’ and then cycle power to the drive in
order for this change to take effect. When DHCP is disabled and power cycled to the drive, it will revert back to
its previous static IP address.
It is most common for the PositionServo drive IP address to be left at its default value (192.168.124.120) and
to configure the PC Ethernet port to communicate on this subnet. If more than one drive needs to be connected
to the PC at any one time then the IP_4 parameter can be accessed via the keypad and changed to provide a
unique IP address on the network for each drive. Note that IP_4 is the only octet that can be changed (IP_1, IP2,
and IP_3 are read-only) and that power must be cycled to the drive for any changes to take effect.
If the PositionServo drive(s) needs to be configured for a specific subnet with different values to default (for
IP_1, IP_2, and IP_3, and IP_4) then this needs to be performed with the MotionView configuration tool.
First establish communications using the default drive address or with an address that was established by
changing IP_4 parameters via the drive keypad. Follow the rest of these instructions in order to establish
communications and launch MotionView using this address. Once within the MotionView software a full IP
address can be assigned.
From the Node tree within MotionView select the [Communications] folder and then the [Ethernet] sub-folder as
shown in Figure 16. The settings reflect those that will appear in the software parameter view window.

The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address can all be edited in this screen. If the text in any of
these boxes turns red once it has been entered then this means that the values or format used is invalid and
the values will not be applied.
To enable DHCP, click the box adjacent to [Obtain IP Address using DHCP] to place a check mark in this box R.
