Assigning static IP addresses
Where there is no DHCP server on the network, assign IP addresses as follows:
1. Connect the PXs as described above, one at a time and open Internet Explorer.
2. Type https://192.168.0.155 select configuration and login with user name admin
and password access the PX Configuration page appears see Figure 6.

Figure 5 Bracket application
Assigning an IP address for each PX
To assign an IP address for each PX there should be a DHCP server on the network.
Once a PX is powered on and connected to the network it automatically receives an
assigned IP address from the DHCP server.
Where a DHCP server is currently unavailable, the PX boots with the static IP
address of 192.168.0.155. The PX searches for a DHCP server every 5 minutes.
Once a DHCP server becomes available the PX receives an IP address from it.
You see the assigned IP address when you access the Centralized Management
system. The Centralized Management system automatically discovers all PXs
connected to the same network segment. The PX MAC address appears on the
underside of each PX.
Figure 6 PX Configuration page
3. In the LAN section, uncheck Enable DHCP and configure a static IP address
for the PX, including Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
4. Click Save & Restart.
The Centralized Management section in Figure 6 is only relevant when the PX is part
of a Centralized Management system. When part of a Centralized Management
system select the Enable Centralized Management checkbox, this enables the
Centralized Management system to detect the PX. Once enabled, the Centralized
Management system can automatically discover PXs connected to the same network
segment, we recommend un-checking Manager Auto Discovery and typing in the
Manager IP.
Operating the system
To complete the initial setup and operate the system, see the softcopy PX User
Guide at:
