Network Address
The following topics discuss two ways to set up the FS2 to communicate over a
TCP/IP network connection: via DHCP or via a static IP address.
Networking Using
DHCP or Default
Static IP The FS2 factory default configuration automatically looks for a DHCP server to
issue an IP address. If your network includes a DHCP server, plug the FS2 into the
network and connect with the FS2 as follows:
1. Press the CONFIG button.
2. Turn the SELECT knob to navigate to config parameter 2.2. Note on a piece of
paper the DHCP-supplied IP address shown.
3. With your laptop or desktop computer connected to the same LAN as the FS2
and DHCP enabled, type the IP address you noted into the browser address
field and press Enter. You should now see the FS2’s browser Status screen.
If the FS2 cannot get an address from the network DHCP server, the FS2 will
automatically use a preset factory static IP address of 192.168.0.2. You can
access the FS2 using the default static address as follows:
1. Set your computer's IP address to whatever address you prefer.
2. Set the computer’s Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 (most PCs default to the
proper netmask when the address is set).
3. Set the gateway address, if used, to match the FS2 default: 192.168.0.1.
Alternatively, change the FS2 gateway address to match your gateway:
Press CONFIG, turn SELECT to 2.4 Default Gateway, push and then turn ADJUST
to change the first group of digits, turn SELECT to advance to the next set of
digits and set with ADJUST again, and so on. Push ADJUST to save when done.
4. Run a browser on the computer and type “ 192.168.0.2 ” (the factory static IP
address). You should now see the FS2’s browser status screen.
When you can access the FS2 screens, turn to “Chapter 5: Browser Remote
Control” on page 123 for details about configuring the FS2 using a browser.

Using Your Own
Static IP If you don’t want to use DHCP or the default static IP address, you can set your
own static IP address:
1. Select the CONFIG button and use the SELECT knob to navigate to parameter
2.1 IP CONFIG. Use the ADJUST knob to select Static.
2. Turn SELECT to navigate to parameter 2.2 IP ADDRESS. The display shows the
default static IP address: 192.168.0.2.
3. Change the address as follows. Push the ADJUST knob momentarily so that the
first octet (set of numbers) blinks, and then turn ADJUST to change the
numbers. Turn SELECT to advance to the next set of numbers, and turn ADJUST
to set these numbers. Continue using SELECT and ADJUST to set the full
address. When finished, push ADJUST momentarily to save the address.
4. Turn SELECT to advance to 2.3 Subnet Mask. Use the SELECT and ADJUST knobs
as in the previous step to set the desired subnet mask.
5. Turn SELECT to advance to 2.4 Default Gateway. Use the SELECT and ADJUST
knobs as in the previous step to set the desired gateway address.
