ZonePRO TM
a. This is done by clicking on “Run”... from the Window’s Start Menu.
b. Enter cmd and click “OK”. This will bring up a command window (DOS box).
c. At the prompt, enter ipconfig and press enter.
d. Now on your screen you will see your current IP settings. You should notice
that the IP Address for the adapter will either be 169.254.x.y where x and y are
numbers between 0 and 255, or 0.0.0.0. If it is 0.0.0.0, wait for about a minute
and enter the ipconfig command again (Windows is still trying to obtain an IP
address). It takes Windows about 1-2 minutes to set an Auto-IP address. If your
computer has an IP address not beginning with “169.254”, your computer is
configured with a static IP address.
Only perform these next steps if your computer is configured with a static IP address.
(i.e. your IP address is not 169.254.x.y or 0.0.0.0.) Otherwise skip to step 5.
a. From the control panel, open the network connections window.
b. Right click on the Local Area Network (LAN) connection that is wired to the
ZonePRO and select “Properties”.
c. Highlight “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and then press the properties button.
d. If “Use the following IP address” is selected, write down all the information on
this page. The following steps will overwrite these settings, so you will need to
keep this information to restore your network settings.
e. Select the “Obtain an IP address automatically” radio button.
f. Click on the Alternate Configuration tab and make sure that “Automatic private IP
address” is selected.
g. Click OK in each window to close them.
h. After about 1-2 minutes your computer will configure itself with the correct IP
settings. Verify this by running the ipconfig command again, as described above.
5. Launch the ZonePRO Designer application. If it is currently running, make sure that you
are not online by selecting “Go Offline” from the Network menu. If the device icon is
already grayed-out, ZonePRO Designer is currently offline.
6. Select “Properties” from the Network menu. Make sure that “Use Ethernet” is selected,
and that the “Proxies” list is empty. Click “Next”.
7. Click “Next” again to enter the address tool. Ensure that there are no addressing
conflicts. If this is the first time you are connecting to some of your ZonePRO devices,
you will need to resolve network conflicts. Each ZonePRO device must have a distinct IP
address and Node address. When all conflicts are resolved, close the Networking Wizard.
8. Select “Go Online” from the Network menu. A ZonePRO icon will appear in the main
ZonePRO Designer window. This indicates that you are online and the ZonePRO Designer
software has discovered the ZonePRO device.
