10. Initial settings - Default IP address
The following sections provide instructions for setting the IP address for the Smart
108/116 IP unit. See Figure 11 for an overview of the 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. The DHCP
server provides a valid IP address, gateway address and subnet mask.
To identify the IP address, the Smart 108/116 IP MAC address appears on the
underside of the Smart 108/116 IP dialog box. The device number (D.N.) can also
be found there.
If no DHCP server is found on the network, Smart 108/116 IP boots with the static
IP address
: 192.168.0.155.
Note! If a DHCP server later becomes available, the unit picks up the IP settings
from DHCP server. To keep the static IP address, disable DHCP – explained in
section
