Installing the E5810

Configuring the E5810 on a Local Network

Apply Power to the E5810

After connecting the E5810 to a Local network, plug the E5810 AC power cord into an AC outlet and observe the power-on sequence. When the power-on sequence is complete, the default IP address of the E5810 is displayed on the second line of the front panel display. A typical display follows. See Chapter 1 - E5810 Description for power-on sequences.

NOTE

Local networks may not have a DHCP Server. Since, by default, the E5810 tries to find a DHCP server until a timeout value is reached, it may require up to 75 seconds for the E5810 to display its default static IP address (169.254.58.10).

NOTE

The E5810 detects duplicate IP addresses and will not start operation if its IP address is already in use. If you try to simultaneously attach multiple E5810s without changing each unit’s default static IP address, some E5810s may not start operation.

To prevent this from happening, add a single E5810 at a time to the network and configure each E5810 to a unique IP address before adding additional E5810s.
