IP settings
The following settings are available in the IP Settings section:
• Unit Name: The default is the product name followed by the last six digits of
the MAC address. You can give the unit a new name (such as LightsOn&Off or
BoardroomA-PC1) consisting of up to 24 alphanumeric characters including the
hyphen (-).
NOTE: The first character must be an alpha character, and the last character cannot
be a hyphen. The unit name is not case sensitive.
• DHCP: DHCP is a communications protocol that assigns addresses on the local network
automatically. Select the On or Off radio button to enable or disable DHCP.
NOTE: When DHCP is set to On, all other IP settings are disabled except Unit Name.
• IP Address: You can enter a new network address, a 32-bit number consisting of four
sets of 8-bit numbers, separated by periods (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn).
• Gateway IP Address: A gateway is a device that connects your network with others
that may be outside your local area network. You can enter your gateway address
(obtained from your network administrator), using the same format that is used for the
IP address. (If there is no gateway, this field defaults to 0.0.0.0.)
• Subnet mask: The subnet mask is used to split IP networks into a series of subgroups
(subnets). The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP address to turn
part of the host ID address field into a field for subnets. You can enter a new subnet
mask address using the same format that is used for the IP address.
To change the IP address settings:
1. In the IP Settings section, make entries or selections in the available fields as desired.
2. When nished making entries in this section, click Submit to implement them.
If you want to discard your entries without submitting them, click Cancel to restore the
previous values (do not click Submit).
Date and time settings
The following settings are available in the Date/Time Settings section:
NOTE: This section lets you set the date and time on your PC1 unit. However, the
passage of time is not reflected in the Date and Time fields on the web page.
The page continues to display the settings you entered and does not increment
them as time passes. However, the PC1 itself continues to keep the correct time
internally.
To display the current time on the screen, click Refresh on your web browser screen.
• Date: Select month, day, and year from the pull-down menus.
• Time: Select hours, minutes, and am or pm from the menus.

(number of hours offset from Greenwich mean time).
