SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
conguration. Additionally, if DHCP is not used on your network, DIGIOP Black encoders must be installed on the network and
congured with new network settings one at a time to avoid addressing conicts.
Use the following procedure to setup and apply compatible, static, network settings for your encoder. If connecting your encoder to
a large enterprise network, consult with your network administrator for network settings before attaching the encoder to the LAN
to ensure that your encoder won’t conict with other devices. Your network administrator should also setup WAN (Internet) access
to the encoder, if that is needed.
If you encounter a problem and need to contact Technical Support, rst complete the chart in Table 1 about your computer (PC) and
encoder network settings, if possible. Support will need this information to provide assistance.
2.6.1 Conguring encoders on networks with DHCP
In networks with a DHCP server, the IP encoder will acquire dynamic (changeable) network settings when it is initially powered on.
These dynamic settings can easily be converted to static settings, or changed to other static settings that are also compatible with
your network.
1. Connect your encoder to the LAN, then power on the encoder.
2. Open the IPAdminTool directory on your computer, then double click the le IPAdminTool.exe to start the application.
When the IPAdmin Tool starts, it will discover all the IP devices it supports that exist on the network. The discovery process
may take a few minutes.
Check the list of IP devices found by IPAdmin Tool. You can identify your encoder by the MAC address. If the encoder was not
found, click the Refresh button every minute until your encoder appears in the list.
3. In the IPAdmin Tool device list, use the encoder’s MAC Address to nd the encoder you are installing. After nding the
encoder, right click the entry, then select IP Address from the drop-down list. An IP Setup window will open.
