4.2.2 Setting the IP Address
Before the base station is installed on site, you need to provide it with its
proper IP address. Make sure that you do not lose this address. A quick way
to set the base station’s IP address is to use the front panel, as described
below.
Note If access to this menu on the front panel has been disabled, log in
to the base station and set the IP address using the web interface
(Identity > Identity > Network Identity).
1. Use the front panel display to enter the IP address, subnet mask and
gateway specified for this base station by the IP addressing plan for the
network. From the base station menu select Modules > Reciter 1
(or 2) > Edit Reciter 1 (or 2) Address. If the idle screen is showing,
press an arrow key, a scroll key or OK to clear it.
Important In this screen each octet in the address lines has provision
for three characters. If an octet in the address has less than
three characters, enter one or two leading zeroes so that
each position is filled, even though the zeroes are not part
of the address. For example, enter 172.25.506.47 as
172.025.506.047. Leading zeroes are removed when the
address is programmed into the base station.
2. Set each address as described below. Use the left and right arrow keys
to move the cursor across each line in the Addresses screen. Use the
scroll keys to scroll through the available numbers for each position in
a line.
a. Set the IP address and press OK. This moves the cursor to the next
line. To move the cursor back to the previous line, press the return
key.
b. Set the Mask address and press OK.
c. Set the Gateway address and press OK.
d. The display shows “Setting Reciter 1 (or 2) address Please wait...”
while the base station confirms that the addresses are correct.
When this process has finished, the display will show
“
SUCCEEDED” or “FAILED” as appropriate. Press OK to return to
the previous menu.
3. If the process failed, try entering the address again. It it still fails, try
the following:
■ enter the address through the web interface
■ check that the IP address you are trying to enter is not already in
use by another device on the same subnet.
