COMPUTER SETTINGS
NOTE: The commissioning computer, dedicated control server on-
site or third-party control system may require setting a static IP
address. Be advised that some routers may present a Gateway
discovery issue when the Multicast Discovery device is set to a static
IP. Coordinate with the Network Administrator for the appropriate
network settings & requirements. Allowing dynamic IP addresses or
setting MAC address reservations may resolve this issue.
If a static IP address is required, obtain the IP address from the
Network Administrator.
1. Connect a CAT-5e cable to the computer ethernet port and
network switch on the same network as the PoE Gateway
(or connect over Wi-Fi on the same network)
2. Go to the Network and Sharing Center, then open Change
Adapter Settings
3. Select the appropriate network adapter, then open
Properties in the drop-down
4. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), then click
Properties
5. Select the Use the following IP address radio button, then
enter the addresses provided by the Network Administrator
6. Click OK on the two open Properties screens
7. Upon completion of PoE Gateway commissioning and
testing, repeat Step 4 to revert previous settings
•Select the Obtain an IP address automatically radio button
•Click OK on the two open Properties screens
