Setting Sunny Matrix to DHCP Assigning a fixed IP address for the
Sunny Matrix
Checking DHCP server
Before setting the Sunny Matrix to dynamic IP
address assignment, check your DHCP server.
The DHCP server must extend the lease of the
assigned IP address. If the DHCP server
assigns a new IP address after the lease has
expired, we do not recommend using the
DHCP server.
DHCP servers can normally list all devices to
which you have assigned an IP address. The
Sunny Matrix can then be identified via its
MAC address. The MAC address of your
Sunny Matrix is located on the "Settings /
Network" page.
• In the "Acquire IP address" field select
the "Dynamic (DHCP)".
• In the "Obtain IP address" field select
"Static".
• In the "Network" area enter the IP
address via which the Sunny Matrix
should be reachable with in the "IP
address" field.
• In the "Subnet mask" field, enter the
subnet mask of the Sunny Matrix.
• If the Sunny WebBox is in another
subnet, enter the IP address of the device
which creates the connection with the
internet in the "Gateway address" field.
Normally, the IP address of the router /
switch is entered here.
If the Sunny Matrix should access a
Sunny WebBox with its own router, the
Port 502 UDP must be opened on this
router.
