FIXED IP CONFIGURATION
► In the case where your EXT-DSC unit has been confi gured to use
DHCP but the DHCP server cannot be contacted by the unit, you need
to reinitialize the unit to its factory default (See Reset to Factory default)
and restart the confi guration procedure.
Fixed IP Confi guration
This tutorial explains how to manually confi gure an EXT-DSC unit to connect
to a specifi c network with a fi xed IP address. Note that this procedure assumes
that you can access the HTTP server of the EXT-DSC unit through the Ethernet
interface.
1. Collect information on your network confi guration.
The following information should be available about your network:
► A range of free IP addresses that can be allocated to the EXT-DSC
unit(s) without network confl icts.
► The right subnet mask.
2. Access the HTTP server of your EXT-DSC unit.
► If you have just received an EXT-DSC unit see the previous sections to
learn how to connect to its HTTP server.
► If the network confi guration of your EXT-DSC unit has already been
modifi ed follow the suggestions in Access HTTP server.
3. Select the Network confi guration page on the left menu under Basic.
► Under Current settings you can read the current network confi guration
of the EXT-DSC unit. In particular you can read the current IP address,
the Host name and the MAC address.
► Under Change settings you can confi gure the network settings of the
EXT-DSC unit.
4. Set the static IP address and the subnet mask.
► Set the Static radio button instead of DHCP one.
► Attribute to the EXT-DSC unit a static IP address in the range of the free
IP addresses of your network.
► Also, make sure that the subnet mask corresponds to your network
confi guration.
► You may fi ll the other network parameters as well if known.
5. Validate the changes.
