116 IPunit.
Bydefault, Smart116IPbootswithanautomaticallyassignedIP address froma
DHCP (DynamicHostConfigurationProtocol)serveronthenetwork. TheDHCP
serverprovidesa validIP address, gatewayaddress andsubnetmask.
ToidentifytheIP address, theSmart116IPMACaddress appearson theunderside
oftheSmart116IPbox.Thedevicenumber(D.N.)canalsobefoundthere.
If noDHCP serverisfoundonthenetwork, Smart116 IP bootswiththestaticIP
address:192.168.0.155.
Note! If a DHCP serverlaterbecomesavailable, theunitpicksup theIP settings
fromDHCP server.TokeepthestaticIP address, disableDHCP –explainedin
