It's important to note that EclerNet compatible devices (MIMO88, NZA, NPA, etc.)

do not

support dynamic allocation protocol for network addresses, or DHCP

, ie: they can't

dynamically negotiate IP addresses and require manually configured and fixed IP addresses. It is
highly recommended that both EclerNet devices (MIMO88, NZA, NPA, etc.) and the computer
running EclerNet Manager are configured with static network address within the same range, for
full connectivity between all of them. An example of a small local network of this type may have
the following network settings in its EclerNet devices:

Up to 255 devices, each with a different IP address (in the range of 10.5.5.1 to 10.5.5.255), could
be part of this example network.

If you want to know your local network TCP / IP configuration, a simple method is to open the
Command Console (Start-> Run-> CMD) and to run the

ipconfig /all

command. More

Note: despite not supporting DHCP, EclerNet devices (and generally any device with static IP)
can coexist with dynamic IP devices, as a DHCP server usually reserves a part of the addresses
range for dynamic allocation and another part for static allocation.
