10. Initial settings

The following sections provide instructions for setting the IP address for the IP Control unit.

11. Default IP address

By default, IP Control boots with an automatically assigned IP address from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on the network. The DHCP server provides a valid IP address, gateway address and subnet mask.

To identify the IP address, the IP Control MAC address appears on the underside of the IP Control box. The device number (D.N.) can also be found there.

If no DHCP server is found on the network, IP Control boots with the static IP address:192.168.0.155.

Note! If a DHCP server later becomes available, the unit picks up the IP settings from DHCP server. To keep the static IP address, disable DHCP – explained in section 13.1 on page 10.
