3.3 DHCP (continued)
The Meter is shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default).
If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP must be disabled.
The DHCP can be enabled by setting the DIP switch # 3 to the "ON" position
Figure 3.2 4 Position DIP Switch
Setting the Meter’s IP address to 0.0.0.0 will also enable DHCP.
3.4 DNS
DNS, Domain Name System enables computers and devices to be recognized
over a network based on a specific name instead of IP addresses.
For example, instead of having to use http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you
would use only http://wis03ec or any eight character name stored as Host
Name under "Access Control" page from the Wireless System Home Page.
The default DNS name for the Meter is "wis" followed by the last four digits of
the MAC address of that particular Meter.
1. It is very important to communicate with the network administrator in
order to understand DHCP and its existing configurations on the
host server, before enabling DHCP on the Meter.
2. The Meters are shipped with a default static IP address of
192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
3. On Windows servers where DCHP and DNS are separate functions it
is very important to configure the DHCP server to communicate with
DNS in order for the iServer’s Host Name to correctly respond. If you
cannot access the iServer using its Host Name, please contact your
network administrator to make sure the DHCP and DNS servers are
linked together.
