DUETE-2/DuetD-2 USER MANUAL
On a Microsoft Windows computer, configure your network settings as follows:
1. Click Start menu, go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing center > Change Adapter Settings > Local Area Connection. Right-
click and choose Properties.
2. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then click Properties. This opens the window you use to configure your
network settings.
To set up your computer to communicate with endpoints that are using DHCP:
• Method 1: If there is a DHCP server on the network, accept Obtain an IP address automatically (the default). The computer will
be automatically assigned a unique IP address by the DHCP server on the same subnet, allowing communication with the Duet-
2 endpoints.
• Method 2: Configure your computer with a static IP address within the defined DHCP range for your network (the subnet (VLAN)
defined by the DHCP netmask for your network). Choose Use the following IP address. Enter an IP address then click OK. To
avoid address conflicts, enter a static address that is not in the range of addresses that will be given out by the DHCP server. For
example: If the DHCP range = 192.168.1.100 –192.168.1.150 and netmask = 255.255.255.0, you can assign 192.168.1.151.
To set up your computer to communicate with endpoints that are using Auto IP:
• Method 1: If there is no DHCP server on the network, a Windows PC will “failover” to Auto IP in a similar way as the encoders
and decoders. Accept Obtain an IP address automatically (the default). After about one minute the computer will assign itself a
unique IP address within the range of
169.254.1.0–169.254.254.255,
with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask, allowing communication
with the encoders and decoders on the network that are also assigned IP addresses via Auto IP.
