For FieldCommander controllers:
Assigning an IP address on a FieldCommander
The factory default IP address of the controller is: 10.0.0.1 with netmask 255.0.0.0.
This address will suffice when you have a point-to-point connection with the controller or
when the local network ID is "10". In this case the host ID of the controller already fits in
in the range from 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255. In any other case you'll have to assign
your controller a new IP address.
Configure IP address with browser
The normal way is to change the IP address, netmask and/or default gateway is from a
web browser. For this to work, the computer with the browser must be on the same
subnet. When this is not the case you can force the controller to accept a new IP address
by way of ARP and PING commands, see later this chapter.
To open the configuration pages of FieldCommander, start your web browser and enter
FieldCommander's IP address in the location/address field: http://10.0.0.1/admin/
The Login page should now appear:
When the above page does not appear, test the connection with PING (see next chapter).
