3.1 Boot-Up Process

By default, Smart 108/116 IP boots with an automatically assigned IP address from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on the network (see Figure 11 for an overview of the boot-up process). The DHCP server assigns the Smart 108/116 IP a valid IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask.

This automatically assigned IP address can be identified according to the Smart 108/116 IP MAC address that appears on the underside of the Smart 108/116 IP box, next to the device number (D.N.).

If no DHCP server is found on the network, Smart 108/116 IP boots with the static IP address: 192.168.0.155.

If a DHCP server later becomes available, the unit picks up the IP settings from the DHCP server. To keep the static IP address, you can disable DHCP, as explained in Section 3.3.2 on page 28.
