2.2.2 Further Connection Settings
2.2.2.1 Change the IP address of the DCU
If necessary, the IP address of the DCU can easily be changed.
The last two digits in the IP address becomes the engine number.
Example: IP address 192.168.0.
104
becomes
Engine #4
The DCU has a fixed IP address that is set during the first power-on set up. The IP address
may also be changed later, in the DCU panel menu:
DCU 410E: Menu / Settings / Administration (locked/open) / Miscellaneous / Network
DCU 210E: Menu / Settings / Administration (locked/open) / Network Configuration
The Administration folder is password protected by a password. It will remain open for 60
minutes after valid password.
Use the up / down arrows to select each of the four groups of numbers and press edit to edit
each group.
2.2.2.2 IP Address Convention
The factory default IP of the DCU is 192.168.0.101. The first three groups must be the same
for all components in the LAN, for instance 192.168.0.X, where X is the other unit in the
LAN.
The X-figure must be unique within the LAN. Also, the two last digits in X will
represent the engine number.
Example: A DCU with the IP address 192.168.0.
104
will be named
Engine #4
2.2.2.3 Connect the DCU to a Single PC
First, make sure that the PC’s Ethernet network configuration is set to automatically receive
an IP address (as most PCs are). Then in the DCU panel menu:
Menu / Settings / Connect a PC…
Press the down arrow and then Toggle. The DHCP-server will now be active for 10 min.
Repeat if it takes longer than 10 min to ready the PC.
Connect the PC to the DCU with a CAT-5 Ethernet cable. The DCU’s DHCP-server will now
automatically set up the PC to communicate with the DCU. It may be necessary to use a
network reset/repair function for the PC’s Ethernet connection in order for the PC to receive
the new IP address.
Alternatively, set the IP address of the PC manually to a free IP address in the same subnet
as the DCU.
For instance, if the DCU’s IP address is 192.168.0.101, the PC may use any IP address
starting with 192.168.0 except 192.168.0.101.
2.2.2.4 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.
