The DGy 201x can be controlled from the 100/1000 Base-T Ethernet port using a command line interface (Telnet) or an embedded GUI (Web Control Panel) via a standard web browser. The same set up procedure is used for either type of control. The DGy 201x 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

When connecting systems via Ethernet, the setup of communications parameters is automatic. However, because this is a network connection, a unique address (known as the IP address) is required.

For proper operation, DGy 201x requires a fixed IP address (also known as a static IP address). At the factory, DGy 201x is programmed with a default IP address (192.168.1.200), but this address must be changed if the DGy 201x will be used on a network.

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

SRecommendation: To use a DGy 201x 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 a DGy 201x directly to a PC using DGy 201x’s Ethernet port. Refer to IP Address Setup via Ethernet on page 136 for details.
