the adaptor, or right-click launch in browser from within CommuniCenter.  Enter the password (if set) and leave the 
User Name blank.  In addition to the settings accessible from the CommuniCenter program, the web browser has 
expanded options under Network and Security.

default = 

"0"

).

Location Name:

 Sets the descriptive name for the IPW-1A. A name should be chosen which is both unique and 

applicable to the installed location / application.

becomes disconnected or unreachable.

Network (Interface) Settings

IP Address:

 Used to configure the IP address settings for the IPW-1A. For automatic IP assignment, the following 

settings are utilized: 

IP Discovery Enabled: (0.0.0.0) -- Factory Default; all protocols enabled.
Disable AutoIP: 

(0.0.1.0)

Disable BOOTP: (

0.0.2.0)

Disable DHCP: 

(0.0.4.0)

Disable IPZator: 

(0.0.8.0) 

      Note:

 These settings can be used together as a binary bitmask to enable / disable any specific combination of      

      discovery protocols.

Subnet mask:

 Used to assign a Subnet mask when a Static IP is assigned (default = 

"0.0.0.0"

, when automatic IP 

discovery is used). 

Gateway:

 Sets the default Gateway IP address when a Static IP is assigned (default =

      (default = 

"1724"

 If set to "Yes", the IPW-1A will verbally announce its IP address over the attached substation 

whenever initialized (default = 

Yes

).

Note:

 If the ID# is left unconfigured, Group Call 

and All Call will not function properly.

Note:

 A gateway setting is only necessary when 

connecting directly to a PC master station 
outside of the LAN (utilizing direct-mode; see 
Appendix A)

Note:

 See Page 23 A.2 for configuration 

instructions for Direct Master Connection.
