1 Configuration

1-1 Initial Configuration

If DHCP mode is enabled (IP auto configuration = DHCP), the IP module will try to contact a DHCP server in

the subnet to which it is physically connected. If a DHCP server is found, it may provide a valid IP address,

gateway address and net mask. Before you connect the device to your local subnet, be sure to complete the

corresponding configuration of your DHCP server. It is recommended to configure a fixed IP assignment to

the MAC address of the IP module. You can find the MAC address labeled on the bottom side of the metal

housing.

If DHCP mode is disabled (IP auto configuration = None), the factory default IP settings are as below:

IP Address

192.168.1.22

Subnet Mask

255.255.255.0

Default Gateway

None

IP Module Setup Tool

If this initial configuration does not meet your local requirements, use the setup tool to change the

configurations to your needs. The setup tool PSetup can be found on the CD ROM delivered with this

package. You can follow the procedures described below.

1. DHCP

If you have installed the IP module on a network that enables DHCP, you can use the PSetup to find out the

IP module’s IP.

1. Plug Ethernet cable to IP module. IP MODULE will get an IP via DHCP.
2. Using PSetup (run PSetup.exe) to look for IP MODULE.
a. Select MAC address which label on bottom of IP module
b. Click Query Device

Notes:

BOOTP, a static configuration protocol, uses a table that maps IP addresses to physical addresses.

DHCP, an extension to BOOTP that dynamically assigns configuration information. DHCP is

backward compatible with BOOTP.
