9. Initial settings - Default IP address

The following sections provide instructions for setting the IP address for the SmartRack 116 IP unit. See Figure 23 for an overview of the boot-up process.

By default, SmartRack 116 IP 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 SmartRack 116 IP MAC address appears on the underside of the SmartRack 116 IP box. The device number (D.N.) can also be found there.

If no DHCP server is found on the network, SmartRack 116 IP boots with the static IP address:192.168.0.155.
