CHANGING THE HOST NAME
The default name for the device is EW5000. To change the host name, do the following:
1. Click the Host Name box and highlight the text.
2. Type a user-friendly name into the Host Name box (maximum 16 characters). A user-friendly name makes it easier to recognize the device
on the network.
CHANGING THE NETWORK SETTINGS
The network automatically assigns an IP address to the EW5001. The following scenarios are how a DHCP or static network assigns IP settings:
• DHCP Network: If the EW5001 is connected to a DHCP network, the server will automatically assign an IP address to the device.
NOTE: DHCP is the default setting for the EW5001.
• Static IP Network: If the EW5001 is connected to a static IP network, your network administrator will assign an IP address to the device.
NOTES:
• Contact your network administrator to avoid any network conflicts before setting/changing the IP address of the device.
• If you do not know the IP address of the EW5001, return to the WS5000 Setup window (refer to Figure 2 on page 5). Select the device
by left-clicking it. Click the Properties button. A window opens listing information about the device, including the IP address.
MANUALLY SETTING THE IP ADDRESS
1. Go to DHCP and select Off to turn off the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
2. Change the following network settings as required:
• IP Address: Address of the device connected to the network.
• Subnet Mask: Determines the network segment the IP protocol uses.
• Gateway: Associated with both a router and a switch. The router determines where packets are sent, and the switch provides the
path for the packet in and out of the gateway.
• DNS Server: The address of the dedicated server that translates the names for Web sites and hostnames into numeric IP addresses.
