Setup IP
This section describes the connectivity procedure for the SierraFC M8‐4 System.
Connecting the SierraFC M8-4 to a Host Machine Over Ethernet
SierraFC M8‐4 Systems are designed to connect to host machines using a network
connection, which allows the user to control the SierraFC M8‐4 System from a local or
remote host machine.
To connect via USB refer to “Connecting Via USB” on page 25 .
Configuring the System
There are two ways of configuring a SierraFC M8‐4 for network connectivity:
 DHCP automatically assigns an IP address. DHCP is the default.
 Static IP prompts you to enter a specific IP address.
Dynamic Configurations
Dynamic configuration uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
Under DHCP, SierraFC M8‐4 will issue a broadcast to any DHCP Server requesting
configuration. If a DHCP server is present on the network, it will assign an IP address,
Subnet Mask and a default GATEWAY (a router port IP address) to the SierraFC M8‐4. The
Gateway port will be used by SierraFC M8‐4 to forward packets to IP addresses that do
not reside within the same subnet.
When using the dynamic configuration, the front panel display will only update the IP
address.
The subnet mask and gateway address will remain at the last values programmed
(000.000.000.000 by default, or whatever was last programmed in the static
configuration). While in dynamic mode, these parameters will have actually been
programmed within the IP STACK inside the SierraFC M8‐4, but are not displayed in the
LCD display.
To change from DHCP to Static IP, you must be connected to a device using USB:
1. Select Configuration > Setup IP from the menu bar.
