Note: The APWeb Configuration page also includes fields for additional settings and bootup operation options (see page 75).
To enter a static IP address:
1.From any page in the site, click the Configuration link.
2.Under Configure APWeb Settings, enter the static IP address in the IP Address field.
3.Click Apply; click OK when prompted to reboot.
Important: Any time you select “Reboot” as an option from the APWeb Configuration page or from any dialog box opened from the APWeb site, the APWeb server reboots. The reboot updates information between the Octaire and the APWeb server. The Octaire system itself does not reboot.
Using a DHCP IP Address (Optional)
The APWeb server offers the option of using a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) IP address. The settings on the APWeb Configuration page will typically be for a fixed or static IP address.
To force invocation of a DHCP IP address:
1.From any page in the site, click the Configuration link.
2.Under Configure APWeb Settings, enter 0.0.0.0 in the IP Address field.
3.Click Apply.
4.Click OK when prompted to reboot.
The APWeb server begins searching for a DHCP server.
If the search times out, the address will revert to the default APWeb IP address (192.168.0.251).
