Setting a static IP via terminal
The LD8 is preconfigured with a static IP of 192.168.2.8, however this IP address can be changed to a different
static IP address. The command to change to a static IP follows the structure of:
IPCONFIG [interface_name] [address_mode] [IP_address] [netmask] [gateway]
IPCONFIG ETHA STATIC 192.168.2.8 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
When configured for a static IP address the LD8 does not have a DNS server configured and cannot resolve
host names. To configure a DNS server entry, use the DNSCONFIG command:

address, which must be performed through connection to one of the three COM ports.
To automatically assign a dynamic IP to the LD8 use the below command:
To change the unit back to a static IP, simply follow the instructions in section ‘Setting a static IP via terminal’.
