ETHERNET CONTROL
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:

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