Configuration
Configuring a Static IP Address
The following section is only required to set an encoder, currently in Auto IP mode, to a static IP address. If a DHCP
server is not found within 60 seconds, encoders are automatically placed in Auto IP mode and will be assigned an IP
address within the range
169.254.xxx.xxx
. If this occurs, a static IP address can be assigned to the encoder in
order for AMS to locate it on the network.
1.
Make sure that the encoder is powered. Power will need to be supplied either by the external 48V power supply
(not included) or by connecting an Ethernet cable from the encoder to a PoE-capable switch. If using the
AT-OMNI-112, the Ethernet cable can be connected to either
Eth 1
or
Eth 2
.
2.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the PC, directly to one of the Ethernet ports on the encoder. Make sure that the
computer being used has AMS installed.

7. Click the
Use the following IP address
radio button.
8. Enter the desired static IP address or the IP address provided by the network administrator.
If the PC does not require Internet access or if a statically-assigned IP address is being used, then an IP address
of
169.254.xxx.xxx
can be entered.
9.
Set the subnet mask to
255.255.0.0
.
10. Click the
OK
button then close all
Control Panel
windows.
11.
Launch AMS.
12.
Locate the encoder under the
Domain View
of AMS. Single-channel encoders will be labeled as
OMNI-111
.
Dual-channel encoders will be labeled as
OMNI-112
.
IMPORTANT:
Before contrinuing, write down the current IP settings in order to restore them, later.
If
Obtain an IP address automatically
and
Obtain DNS server automatically
are selected, then this
step is not required.
