Setting Up Static IP on the Computer
To communicate with the Gateway from a computer on the network (to use the Web Configuration Utility,
for example), the user may have to switch the IP address settings from DHCP-enabled to static IP, so that
the computer and the Gateway are on the same network subnet.
To set up static IP on a computer, select the operating system and follow the instructions.
? Note: The following procedures are based on the Gateway’s factory default IP address. If
the Gateway’s IP address has been changed, enter the new IP address when instructed to
enter an IP address.
