1 Conguration
1-1 Initial Conguration
If DHCP mode is enabled (IP auto conguration = DHCP), the IP module will try to contact a DHCP server in
the subnet to which it is physically connected. If a DHCP server is found, it may provide a valid IP address,
gateway address and net mask. Before you connect the device to your local subnet, be sure to complete the
corresponding conguration of your DHCP server. It is recommended to congure a xed IP assignment to
the MAC address of the IP module. You can nd the MAC address labeled on the bottom side of the metal
housing.
If DHCP mode is disabled (IP auto conguration = None), the factory default IP settings are as below:
IP Address 192.168.1.22
Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0
Default Gateway
None
IP Module Setup Tool
If this initial conguration does not meet your local requirements, use the setup tool to change the
congurations to your needs. The setup tool PSetup can be found on the CD ROM delivered with this
package. You can follow the procedures described below.
1. DHCP
If you have installed the IP module on a network that enables DHCP, you can use the PSetup to nd out the
IP module’s IP.
1. Plug Ethernet cable to IP module. IP MODULE will get an IP via DHCP.
2. Using PSetup (run PSetup.exe) to look for IP MODULE.
a. Select MAC address which label on bottom of IP module
b. Click Query Device
Notes:
■ BOOTP, a static conguration protocol, uses a table that maps IP addresses to physical addresses.
■ DHCP, an extension to BOOTP that dynamically assigns conguration information. DHCP is
backward compatible with BOOTP.
