	The DGy 201 can be controlled from the 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet port
	using a command line interface (Telnet) or a standard web browser. The
	same set up procedure is used for either type of control. Your DGy 201
	can be connected to a standard LAN or directly as a peer-to-peer
	connection. Network settings must be set prior to using it in either
	configuration.
	The following topics are discussed in this section:
	• Introduction to IP Addresses
	• IP Address Setup via Serial Port
	• IP Address Setup via Ethernet
INTRODUCTION TO	When connecting systems via Ethernet, the setup of communications
IP ADDRESSES	parameters is automatic. However, because this is a network
. . . . . . . . .	connection, a unique address (known as the IP address) is required.
	For proper operation, DGy 201 requires a fixed IP address (also known
	as a “static” IP address). At the factory, DGy 201 is programmed with a
	default IP address (192.168.1.200), but this address must be changed if
	you want to use your DGy 201 on a network.

Important

Consult your network administrator to obtain a valid IP address before commencing the network setup procedure.

SRecommendation: If you want to use DGy 201 on a Local Area Network (LAN), change the unit’s IP address before putting it on the network. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:

~Use the serial port to change the unit’s IP address. Refer to the “IP Address Setup via Serial Port” section below.

~Connect DGy 201 directly to a PC using DGy 201’s Ethernet port. Refer to the “IP Address Setup via Ethernet” section (page 144) for details.
