EX7000 HARDWARE SETUP
To properly set up the EX7000 for use, the following cabling connections must be made:
• ac power cord, supplied with the EX7000 must be plugged into any standard ac outlet
providing 90 V ac to 264 V ac at 47 Hz to 63 Hz.

NETWORK CONFIGURATION
With its default network configuration, the EX7000 will attempt to locate a DHCP server. If one is
found, the IP address assigned by the DHCP server will be used. Otherwise, after a timeout of
20 seconds, the unit will attempt to obtain an IP address by using AutoIP.
NOTE At any time, the EX7000 can be returned to a known, default network configuration by using the
LCI (LAN Configuration Initialize) mechanism. See Reset Button for more information.
AutoIP is a mechanism for finding an unused IP address in the range 169.254.X.Y, where X is in
the range 1 through 254 and Y is in the range 0 through 255. The device will first attempt to obtain
the specific address 169.254.X.Y, where X and Y are the second-to-last and last octets (bytes) of
the device’s MAC address. However, X will be set to 1 if it is 0 in the MAC address, and to 254 if
it is 255 in the MAC address. This is in accordance with the AutoIP standard (RFC 3927). If this
address is already in use, the unit will attempt to obtain other IP addresses in a pseudorandom
fashion until it finds one that is available.
