The STB NIP 2311 NIM Module

EIO0000000051 6/2010

Switch Settings for IP Parameter Assignment

Valid rotary switch settings:

z For a switch-set device name, select a numeric value from 00 to 159. You can

use both switches:

z On the upper switch (tens digit), the available settings are 0 to 15.

z On the lower switch (ones digit), the available settings are 0 to 9.

The numeric setting is appended to the STB NIP 2311 part number. For example,

an upper switch setting of 12 and a lower switch setting of 3 creates a device

name of STBNIP2311_123, to which the DHCP server assigns an IP address.

z For a BootP-served IP address, select either of the two BOOTP positions on the

bottom switch.

z Set the lower switch to one of its two STORED positions to get either:

z a fixed IP address: A fixed address is assigned in the STB NIP 2311

embedded web pages (see page 143) or the Advantys configuration software.

z a MAC-based IP address: A MAC-based address is used when the

STB NIP 2311 is direct from the factory and no IP address has been assigned

with the module’s embedded web pages.

z The two CLEAR IP settings clear the NIM's internal IP parameters, including the

internal device name. (In this case the island does not have an IP address.)

NOTE:

z Refer to the detailed descriptions of methods for IP addressing (see page 73).

z To see how the STB NIP 2311 prioritizes addressing options, refer to the

IP parameterization flowchart (see page 76).

z The STB NIP 2311 requires a valid IP address to communicate on the Ethernet

network and with a host. You must power cycle the STB NIP 2311 to configure it

with the IP address set with the rotary switches. (You can also configure an

IP address that is used after power up using the IP configuration web page

(see page 150).)
