IP Address Configuration
Choosing the ‘Configure IP Address’ in the ‘Advanced’ menu brings up
a window that shows the IP and Subnet Mask.
The IP uniquely identifies any nodes or controllers on a network, while
the Subnet Mask defines which part of the IP represents the network
address and which part represents the node address. For example, a
Subnet Mask of 255.0.0.0 means that the first byte of the IP defines
the network address and the remaining 3 bytes define the Node
address.
By default, the product has a static IP address in the range 2.x.x.x.
There are situations in which the user may wish to change this - for
example, a 192.168.x.x address is generally used in office
environments.
A useful additional feature is the ability to enable automatic IP address
allocation on networks controlled by a DHCP server (check the ‘Enable
DHCP’ box to activate).
Squawk
On a complicated network it is not always easy to relate what is showing on screen to the physical location of the
nodes. A single press of the factory reset button on Gateway 4 causes the product to send a message over the
network to the console.
