DCU 410 Engine Panel Installation
400 Series Installation and Configuration
To connect the DCU to a LAN with a DHCP
server
For use in a LAN with a DHCP server (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol), the IP-addresses to be used by
Marine Pro components must be set outside the IP-
address range used by the DHCP server. Most DHCP
servers are configured with an IP-address range that
leaves room for fixed addresses outside it.
If for instance the LANs subnet is 192.168.230 and the
DHCP
’s
IP-address range is set to 50
–
210, valid IP-
addresses of the DCU would be for instance
192.168.230.211, 192.168.230.7 or 192.168.230.231.
Do
not
use the DCU inbuilt DHCP-server (the Menu /
Connect a PC…
menu entry) in a LAN with its own DHCP
server, since two DHCP servers in the same LAN may
create conflicting IP-addresses.
Connection to a LAN using fixed IP-
addresses
Set the IP-address of the DCU to a free/available IP-
address within the LAN
’
s subnet.
Factory defaults for the DCU
Factory defaults are valid at initial startup only.
IP-address: 192.168.0.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
For later resets, the current IP configuration will be kept
even through the manual Factory reset operation.
DHCP IP-address range: 101
–
199 within the subnet
defined by the DCUs IP-address.
IP-address conflict
Two or more DCU units with the same IP-address should
not be connected in the same network. The result may be
that a PC or RP 410 remote panel will be able to address
one of the DCU units only.
