Initial Connection
TCP/IP network settings
Prior to the gateway being installed and connected to a live control network, it should be
configured with an IP address, as well as other TCP/IP network settings.
Request the following configuration items from the network administrator:
Specify an IP address, or use a DHCP server
Hostname
Domain Name
IP address
Netmask
Gateway
Obtaining an IP address from a DHCP server is not recommended, since the Gateway operation
will be dependent on the availability of the DHCP server. For maximum gateway availability it is
best practice to specify an IP address.
To change the TCP/IP Network Settings:
1. Navigate to System Settings>Gateway>Ethernet Communication protocol.
2. Select Specify an IP address (recommended).
3. Enter the following:
Hostname
Domain Name
IP Address
Netmask
Gateway
4. Select Submit.
5. When prompted, click Restart apps.
6. Select YES to confirm restart.
7. Close the web browser.
Note
Once the IP Address of the Gateway has been changed, communications to the web interface
will be lost. Restart the web browser, then log back into the Gateway using the new IP address
and other TCP/IP network settings. The PC/Laptop TCP/IP network settings may need to be
changed.
Use caution when making changes to the TCP/IP network settings. If they are lost or
improperly configured, it may be impossible to log into the Gateway. Contact the network
administrator for information on the proper TCP/IP network settings to apply
