ViewNet MX
ViewNet MX Version 1.1/1.5 Owners Manual 13
Setting the IP Address
Enter the value for the IP Address by pressing Trim then using the Shuttle Ring to move the cursor and
the Up/Down Arrows or Scrub Wheel to change the value of a single digit. When the desired value is
entered press Yes to save it and reboot the MX-2424 for the change to take effect.
Important Rules for IP Addresses
It is important to make sure the first nine numbers of the IP address should be the same for all host
machines on that network, and the final three numbers should set to a number which is unique for
each device on the network.
If the MX-2424 is to be used in a facility where IP addresses are managed by a network administrator,
that person should assign and log the IP addresses for each MX-2424 and ViewNet MX computer
according to the address scheme for the facility. IP addresses for MX-2424’s can always be changed by
using Setup menu 950.
Using the Default IP Address
The Default network address can be safely used as a valid IP address for host machines on self-contained
ViewNet MX networks. A self contained network is one that is not being used for access to the Internet
and which will be dedicated to running ViewNet MX within a facility. If your ViewNet MX network
will be connected to the Internet, you should be using your facility’s assigned IP addresses, not the
default IP addresses.
Next Available IP
If the Default network address is used, the ViewNet MX application can see which unique host IDs have
been used by MX-2424 units on the network and suggest the next valid host IP address for new units
which will be added to the network. This function is listed under the ViewNet MX Help menu.
