Step 6: Modify LAN Settings (if required)

The following changes may be required if you are connecting the Eicon 1530 to a LAN.

Change Device IP Address

The Eicon 1530’s default IP address of 192.168.1.1 may or may not be suitable for your LAN. If you are unsure as to whether or not the IP address should be changed, consult your support personnel. Some guidelines are given below.

Eicon 1530 as DHCP server: You do not have to change the Eicon 1530’s IP address.

Existing DHCP server: You must change the Eicon 1530’s IP address so it is outside the range of dynamically assigned ones, or you must reserve the address.

Computers with fixed IP addresses: You must change the Eicon 1530’s IP address so that it corresponds to what is available on your network.

To change the device IP address:

1.From the Link List, click ‘LAN’. The Eicon 1530 displays the LAN parameters page.

2.Modify the ‘IP address’ and ‘Subnet Mask’ settings to addresses appropriate for your LAN.

‘IP address’ and ‘Subnet Mask’ settings

3.Click the ‘Save’ button.

Disable DHCP

If your LAN has an existing DHCP server, you should disable the Eicon 1530’s DHCP server.

Note: The Eicon 1530 automatically de-activates its own DHCP server if an existing DHCP server is detected. To re-activate this feature, remove the existing server from the LAN and reset the Eicon 1530.

To disable the DHCP server:

1.In the Link List, click the ‘+’ next to ‘IP’, then click ‘DHCP’ from the submenu.

2.In the ‘DHCP’ page, clear the ‘Enable DHCP’ checkbox.

3.Click the ‘Save’ button.
