Setting UP a Static IP Address

In order to use your MRIP (either external, or the internal version built into the MX88), you first need to configure it for your network. You will need to assign the MRIP a static IP Address.

The MRIP ships with its TCP/IP addressing set to obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server. You will need to change this to a fixed IP address that is “legal” on your particular network configuration. (If you are not familiar with how networks work, please see the section below on Network Configuration Overview for a rough primer.)

To change the IP Address of the MRIP, use the “MRIP Installer” application (available at www.xantech.com and included with the Universal Dragon download).

How to start the MRIP Installer application

The MRIP Installer application is included with Universal Dragon (version 2.3.38.0 or higher). You can find it in the “MRIP Config Tool” folder in your Dragon installation folder. This will usually be:

C:\Program Files\Xantech\Universal Dragon v2.3\MRIP Config Tool

If you are running on Windows 7 64-bit, then this folder will be:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Xantech\Universal Dragon v2.3\MRIP Config Tool

Double-click on the file called “MRIP Installer.exe”.

Changing the IP Address of a MRIP

In the MRIP Installer utility, first select the correct MRIP unit in the window near the top. If the unit cannot be found on the list, than press the ‘Find Units’ button to refresh the screen.

Next, click on the “IP Setup” button in the upper right corner of the utility. This will bring up the “IP Setup” dialog box.
