Configuring the IP Address
The Controller must be programmed with a valid IP Address to allow communication. By default this is set to
192.168.1.2 but can be adapted to suit your network requirements and addressing scheme.
i
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.
1. With the Controller connected to your network, type the IP address into your browser. The default IP
address is 192.168.1.2
If the IP address has been configured previously and you are not sure what it is, you can temporarily default
it (see page 108).
2. Login and navigate to System | Settings
3. Enter the required settings, and click Save.
 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 IP address to use. By default this 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 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 0.0.0.0 to prevent any external communication.
4. You must then Restart the controller for the new configuration to take effect.
