General
Name: The Controller name is programmed to identify the panel to the operator or system user. Ideally the
name should describe the premises or the building where the panel is installed. The name is also used
within the IP and SMTP Mail Services to identify the panel to the e-mail recipient.
Serial Number: The serial number of the Controller. This can be obtained from the label on the side of the
Controller or from the configuration page of the built in web interface.
Use DHCP: When enabled, the Controller will use DHCP to dynamically allocate an IP address instead of
using a static IP address. To use this, there must be a DHCP server on the network you are attempting to
connect to.
IP Address: The Controller has a built in TCP/IP Ethernet Device and it must be programmed with a valid
TCP/IP Address to allow communication. By default the IP address is set to 192.168.1.2.
Subnet Mask: Used in conjunction with the IP Address a netmask must be configured to allow access to
the appropriate node on the subnet. By default this is set to a value of 255.255.255.0.
Default Gateway: Used in conjunction with the IP Address, the gateway can be configured to allow access
to a router for external communications beyond the subnet to which the Controller is connected. By default
this is set to a value of 0.0.0.0 to prevent any external communication.
Programming the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway requires knowledge of the network and
subnet that the system will be connected to. You should always consult the network or system
administrator before programming these values.
