Pinging a Data Device

To ping a device listed in the Status window to verify that it is communicating properly with
the Services Router, click the Ping Test button. The system pings the device you selected and
reports the status.
Adding DNS Names for Static IP Devices
The Services Router uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for automatically
assigning IP addresses to devices on your network. However, if there are network devices
that require static IP configuration or if you wish to assign certain permanent devices to be
used as servers (for example, a camera) you need to assign a host name and static IP
address for them. Here’s how:
1. Click the Data Devices > Static IP tab.
2. Click Add Static IP.
3. Assign a device name and an IP address for each data device. You can assign the same
IP address to multiple devices; however, the hostname must be unique.
4. When you have finished making your changes, click Commit.

Deleting a Static IP Address

1. Click the Data Devices > Static IP tab.
MAC The Media Access Control (MAC) address is the unique identifier for the
device. This number is also printed on the device.
IMPORTANT: Static IP addresses must
start with 192.168.101.<nnn>. The last
octet must be in the range 2 to 254. Do
not use the same IP address for different
devices.
