Preparing for the Network
To allow for the eMerge Essential to be recognized on the local network, it is necessary to change
the controller’s IP address as follows:
1. Connect your programming computer directly to the Ethernet port of the control panel as shown
in Figure 7.1. (You may also connect the computer and control panel to an Ethernet Switch.)

2. Assign a static IP address of 192.168.0.149 to the computer. (For instructions on how to
change the static IP address of a Windows computer, please visit: http://technet.microsoft.

3. After assigning the static IP address,
open a web browser and
enter the IP address of the

Caution: The system is
exposed to potential risks
if installed on a network
without proper security
precautions. Consult the
appropriate on-site IT
administrator.
Note: If a DHCP
server is present, IP
Addresses are dynami
-
cally assigned. A static
IP address is required for
the controller because
a DHCP Server may
assign a new IP Address
resulting in loss of com-
munication.
