8.1 IP address
The RC120 needs an Internet Protocol (IP) address to communicate over
Ethernet. There are two ways to get an IP address; either programmed into
the unit or using DHCP.
For DHCP mode, the RC120 acquired its IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address from the DHCP server. Otherwise the RC120 has a xed IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
DHCP mode or the IP address can be set or read using the GardasoftMaint
program available from www.gardasoft.com.
The GardasoftMaint window is shown below:
GardasoftMaint allows you to view the controllers on your network, change
their IP addresses and upgrade their rmware if it becomes necessary.
In the messaging section of GardasoftMaint, you can communicate with
your controller using the commands explained in Section 10.3.3, “General
commands” and Section 10.3.4, “Lighting commands”. You can also open
the selected controller’s web pages at the click of a button. For more
information about the RC120’s web pages, see Section 9, “Web page
conguration (RC120)”.
