Network configuration

IP address 192.168.1.100 would exist four times in the network. Because of this, the preset IP address of three NetMax N8000s must be replaced with a unique address.

Example of an Ethernet network with four N8000

It is advantageous and strongly recommended to list all devices used in the Ethernet network and IP addresses for changing the preset IP addresses of the N8000s. An example of such a list for the example system shown in the above illustration is given in the following. You will find an empty form in the appendix. Please enter the description of the device, an unambiguous description and the IP address which has to be assigned to the device for every device used in the network in this list. If the device is displayed in IRIS-Net, you can also use the description that is used there.

When the example system is put into operation, the IP addresses which are given in the overview table, should be assigned to each device. The assignment of the IP address can be made via IRIS-Net and via the N8000 browser interface. In IRIS-Net the assignment is possible both over the USB interface and the Ethernet interface of the N8000. Information about the exact proceedings are given in the IRIS-Net online-help. For the assignment of the IP address over the N8000 browser interface open the browser interface using the current (preset) IP address of the N8000. Information about the exact proceedings are given in the N8000 browser manual.
