5. Assigning IP Address
IP address can be assigned to the device through web-server in 3 different ways.
Note: The device is configured for DCHP mode in factory default settings.
1. DHCP/Auto IP mode
In DHCP/Auto IP mode, IP address is assigned to the device if DHCP server is present in
the network. If DHCP server is not present in the network, IP address will be assigned
from the Auto/IP range. In that case follow the procedure as specified in Auto IP mode.
2. Auto IP mode
In Auto IP mode, IP address is assigned to the device by the network from the AutoIP
range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. Change the IP address of the PC from the
existing one to the one from the AutoIP range with Sub-net mask 255.255.000.000 and
then locate the device in the locator utility. (Refer 4.1.2)
3. Static IP mode
In static IP mode, you should assign a free IP address to the device and the
corresponding sub-net mask. Care should be taken that the IP address assigned to the
device is in same network as the PC. Also the sub-net mask of the device and PC should
be same.
5.1. If DHCP server is present in the network:
1. A Free IP address in the network is assigned to the device.
2. Error LED indication will stop blinking.
3. Locate the device in Lynx Locator Utility as shown in section 3.2 and observe the
assigned IP address.
4. Enter this IP Address in the address bar of web browser to change the configuration
parameters.
5.2. If DHCP server is not available in the network:
1. If the device is powered ON and DHCP server is not present in the network, then
after 60 seconds the device enters in to Auto IP mode.
2. An IP address from the range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 is assigned to the
device
3. Locate the device in the network by using the Lynx Locator Utility.
4. If the device can't be located in Lynx Locator Utility, change the IP Address of the
computer from the existing one to the one from the AutoIP range 169.254.0.1 to
169.254.255.254 with sub-net mask 255.255.0.0
Note:
Device and PC should be in the same Ethernet Network to be located in
locator utility.
Note down the initial IP Address & sub-net mask of PC before changing.
