How to get here: From the top navigation bar of the selected Node.
Background: Each Node has an IP address which is used to address the Node on a local area
network (LAN) or on the Internet (WAN). An IP address can be static and public so that it can be
addressed on over the Internet and have an associated domain name. It can also be a dynamic
address assigned by a router or other DHCP server on a LAN. Such an address is also called a
private or local IP address. Our Node-resident firmware automatically discovers the IP address of
all Nodes on a LAN or WAN, plus any Devices on the RS485 bus connected to an Ethernet-to-
RS485 Device Server Nodes.

REFRESH NET: Enter a checkmark and press GO to refresh the Node's IP address on command
from the network.
STATIC IP: Enter a static IP address for the Node if you want to be able to address the Node from
anywhere over the Internet. An IP address is a 4-byte number (e.g., 192.168.0.57). Leave the
entry at 0.0.0.0 if you want the IP address to be assigned dynamically by the router for the LAN on
which the Node is located, or by the Node itself if there is no router or other DHCP server. Press
GO to enter any change.
