ChAptER 3: NEtWoRk CoNFigURAtioN
The WSG30 is designed for installation on an Ethernet network. This involves assigning it an IP address.
By default the unit will try to acquire an IP address automatically using DHCP. If it is successful you can
then use the LCD and keypad to determine the IP address and then assign it a fixed IP address. If no
DHCP server is found the unit will fallback to a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.250. Follow the instruc-
tions below depending on which scenario applies to your network:

If your network supports DHCP then simply plug your Ethernet cable into the Node’s Ethernet port
and plug-in the power supply. Check the LCD to see if it has acquired an IP address. If it has, type this
IP address into a web browser. The WSG30 Summary Screen will appear. Click Setup, then Network
from the menu. Disable DHCP and set a fixed IP address. Enter the Gateway, Subnet Mask and DNS
settings as well. The Wireless channel will default to 1. If you have more than one WSG30, you must set
a different channel number for each. Click Save when finished.
*Consult with your network administrator if you’re unsure of the proper settings.

If your network does not support DHCP then your WSG30 will set its IP address to 192.168.1.250.
This address should only be used temporarily. Leaving this address as the factory default could result in
networking conflicts if another device is added to your non-DHCP supported network.
If your network does not support DHCP then you will have to use one of the following methods to
change the IP address of the unit for the first time.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you consult with your Network Administrator concerning all
network related settings .

You can configure the Network settings for your WSG30 using the keypad and LCD. Press Menu, then
press the down arrow to Network Config, then press Enter. A listing of each Network parameter will
appear in the display. The first parameter is the IP Address - press Enter to configure the IP address. A
screen similar to the following will appear:
IP Address
192.168. 1.250
^
Back . + . - . Next
The four keypad buttons correspond to the Back, Next, + and - functions in the display. Use the Back
and Next keys to move the cursor to the right and left. Use the + and - keys to increment or decrement
the values to configure the IP Address. When the cursor is in the last position (far right) the Save option
will appear in place of the word Next. Press Save to store your settings. Repeat this process for each
of the Network parameters in the Network Config menu. Make sure you disable DHCP. Note that the
Wireless Channel will default to 1. If you have more than one WSG30 , you must set a different Wireless
channel number for each.
After you have configured the network settings, open a web browser to access the WSG30 web page.
