4.1 Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP)
The receiver can communicate with a C900V2 that
has an IP address dynamically assigned by a
DHCP server on the network. When using DHCP,
you must set the receiver to use the network
naming convention (NNC) to identify accounts
instead of using static IP addresses. Devices in the
field can have either a static IP address or a
dynamic IP address. The receiver uses the NNC
number to identify the account instead of the IP
address.
For devices having IP addresses assigned by a
DHCP server:
• Set DIP Switch 9 on the C900V2 to ON.
• Enable NNC on the receiver. Refer to the
D6600/D6100i Computer Interface Manual
(P/N: 4998122702).
• Set the Account Database in the D6200
Software to NNC Mode. Refer to the D6200
Programming Software Operation and
Installation Guide
(P/N: 4998154991).
• Use the D6200 Software to enter the eight-digit
NNC number located on the label of the
C900V2 into the Account Database.. Refer to
the D6200 Programming Software Operation
and Installation Guide (P/N: 4998154991).
• Configure network connections to
communicate through a DHCP server.
• Set the IP address of the C900V2 to 0.0.0.0.
4.2 Identifying the MAC Hardware
Address
If you know the IP address of the
configured C900V2, go to Section 4.5
Using Telnet to Finish the Configuration
on page 14.
You must program the IP address of the C900V2.
The first step is to determine the MAC, or
hardware, address of the C900V2. This address is
hard-coded into the C900V2 during its manufacture
and cannot be changed. This address is 6 bytes
(12 digits) long.
Figure 10 shows an example of a MAC address.
Figure 10: MAC Address Label Example
The MAC address label is located on
the top of the Ethernet connector.
Record this number for future reference.
4.3 Getting an IP Address
If you are using Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), you do
not need an IP address.
If you are not using DHCP, request an
IP address for your C900V2 from your
network administrator. You might have
to provide the MAC address.
An IP address is an identifier for a computer or
device on a TCP/IP network. The IP address is a
32-bit numeric address written as four numbers
separated by periods. Each number can be zero to
255, for example, 190.200.128.111. In an isolated
network, you can assign IP addresses at random if
each one is unique. Connecting a private network
to the Internet requires registered IP addresses
(called Internet addresses) to avoid duplication.
4.4 Initial IP Address Assignment
Using ARP.EXE
The C900V2 you are configuring and the PC used
to configure it must both be on the same gateway
(the device that connects the LAN to the WAN) to
use telnet for configuration of the C900V2. The
gateway can be a router or a hub. After you
configure the C900V2 and assign it an IP address,
you can then use telnet to change configuration
parameters from anywhere on the network.
Read this entire procedure before
starting. Ensure that power is applied to
the C900V2 and the C900V2 is
connected to the LAN or WAN through
the Ethernet connector.
The following procedure shows how to use the
ARP command to assign an IP address to the
C900V2.
