NOTE: Static settings span two menu screens. You may use the soft keys to navigate between the
two menus. Depressing the ENTER key in either menu saves all settings. For convenience when you
manually set the device’s IP address, the Gateway and Primary DNS addresses follow the change.
See the following sections for details on each of these fields.
IP Address
This is the local network address of your Classic. It usually takes the form “192.169.0/1.x” or
“10.0.0.x” depending on your networking equipment. You must be careful when selecting this
address. If it does not match your network subnet then the classic will not be able to communicate
with the network. If it is the same as another device on the network, then collisions will occur
causing both devices to act erratically. Check your router settings or ask your network
administrator which local address to use. Also refer to the troubleshooting section for tips.
Subnet
This refers to the class of local network you are using. This depends on your network hardware, but
most users should use “255.255.255.0” for this field.
Gateway
This is the address of your router or modem – the device which is connected directly to the Internet.
It will usually take the form “192.168.0/1.1” or “10.0.0.1” depending on your network configuration
and hardware. Check your router settings or ask your network administrator which local address to
use. Also refer to the troubleshooting section for tips.
DNS 1
The DNS is the means by which human-readable internet addresses are resolved to actual IP
addresses on the network. These values can usually be set identically to the gateway address
depending on your network hardware. If your ISP provides you with specific DNS servers, then use
those addresses in these fields instead.
Example 1: Your gateway is a DSL modem with address 192.168.1.1. If your ISP has not
given you explicit DNS servers to use, then set the D1 field to 192.168.1.1.
Example 2: Your gateway is a cable modem with address 10.0.0.1. Your ISP has specified
primary and secondary DNS server addresses of 11.22.33.44 and 11.22.33.55, respectively.
Set the D1 address to 11.22.33.44.
Web Access
MidNite Solar offers a free web service with which you can access your Classic from anywhere in the
world simply by pointing your web browser to https://www.mymidnite2.com. Instructions on
setting up your My MidNite account can be found on the above webpage. Classic firmware 2079 or
higher is required to interface with My Midnite 2.
NOTE: Firmware version 2079 or higher (newer) is required for web access.
All communications between the Classic and MidNite Solar’s server are encrypted using a strong
session-based algorithm. To respect your privacy, however, it is required that you manually enable
this feature if you’d like to use it.
