Network IP address
You now must enter an IP address for the principal Ethernet (LAN/Net-
work/Network1) port on the ECS0016 gateway, or enable its DHCP client
so that it automatically obtains an IP address from a DHCP server on the
network to which it is connected.
On the System: IP menu:
Select the 1. Network page then check DHCP or Static for the
Configuration Method
If you selected 2. Static you must manually enter the new IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS server details. This selection
automatically disables the DHCP client.
If you selected DHCP, the ECS0016 will look for configuration details 3.
from a DHCP server on your management LAN. This selection
automatically disables any static address. The ECS0016 MAC address
can be found on a label on the base plate of the unit.
Please note: In its factory default state (with no Configuration Method
selected) the ECS0016 has its DHCP client enabled, so it automatically
accepts any network IP address assigned by a DHCP server on your net-
work. In this initial state, the ECS0016 will then respond to both its Static
address (192.168.0.1) and its newly assigned DHCP address.
