To set the IP address
You must define the TV-VAVB3-E2's IP addressing (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway) on the
controller setup Ports tab so that the controller can communicate with the i-Vu Server on the IP network.
Use one of the IP addressing schemes described below with the associated instructions that follow.
DHCP IP Address
generated by a DHCP server
The IP network uses a DHCP server for IP addressing
Custom Static IP Address
from your network administrator
You do not use a DHCP server and the answer to any of the
following questions is yes. Will the i-Vu® system:
• Share a facility's existing IP data network?
• Be connected to the Internet?
• Have at least one device located on the other side of an IP
router?
• Be connected to any third-party IP devices?
NOTE Carefully plan your addressing scheme to avoid duplicating addresses. If third-party devices are integrated
into the system, make sure your addresses do not conflict with their addresses.
To set a DHCP IP address
1 On the controller setup Modstat tab, find the controller’s Ethernet MAC address and write it down.
2 On the Ports tab under IP Port, select DHCP.
3 Click Save.
4 Write down the IP Address.
5 Give the DHCP network administrator the IP address and Ethernet MAC address and ask him to reserve that
IP address for the controller so that it always receives the same IP address from the DHCP server.
To set a custom static IP address
1 Obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address for the controller from the facility network
administrator.
2 On the controller setup Ports tab under IP Port, select Custom Static.
3 Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway addresses that the network administrator gave
you.
4 Click Save.
