4.1.3 Assign Static IP address using web Interface
Follow these steps to configure the CNT-IP-2 IP address.
•
Open a browser window and enter the IP address indicated by Device
Finder Software.
• When prompted, Login with username: admin and password: pass
(both lowercase).
• Click on each of the Configuration  System  Communications tabs.
• From this screen, the unit can be set for a DHCP or static IP address. It
is usually best to assign a static IP so the CNT-IP-2 browser address will
always remain the same between power cycles.
• Set the IP address to a known reserved IP dedicated on your network for
this CNT-IP-2 device. Contact your network administrator if needed.
• Set subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 (change appropriately if multiple
subnets are being used). Contact your network administrator if needed.
• Set the gateway. This is usually XXX.XXX.XXX.1 where the first three
octets match the subnet. ( Consult your network administrator if
necessary).
• Set the DNS server. If you don’t know this information you can usually
specify the gateway address for the primary DNS. The Secondary DNS
address is optional.
• Click the SAVE Icon in the upper right corner of the Tab.
• Click on each of the Configuration  System  Basic tabs. Click the
reboot button. It should take approximately 15 seconds for the unit to
reboot and come back online with the new Network Settings.
• Change the IP address in the browser address bar to match the Static IP
address just configured and hit enter. You should be prompted to login
to the CNT-IP-2 device again with the same username and password as
described above.
4.2 Configuration Files
Configuring multiple CNT-IP-2 systems can be time consuming. We have
made it easier by allowing you to download (save) a configuration file and
upload it to other systems, requiring only minimal changes.
All configuration including settings, users, actions, groups, buttons, events
and state information are stored in a file called ‘CONFIG.JS’.
This file can be downloaded or uploaded through the IP Manager interface
on the Configuration->System->Basic Tab.
