In order to change the IP address of the 

APP

MODULE, please click "Configuration"  

 

 

Figure 14: APPMODULE – Main Menu 

 

The configuration menu opens up. You can make the following settings in the "Network" menu item: 

 

 

DHCP: 

If the DHCP service is enabled, the device will automatically obtain the network 

settings. The DCHP service assigns the IP address, the network mask and the 

default gateway to the APPMODULE.  Therefore, a DHCP server, in private 

networks mostly the router, must be available in the local network. 

Note: If the DHCP service fails, the 

APP

MODULE gets that with and is then 

reachable under the default IP address, network mask and standard gateway. 

 

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator  

IP address / 

subnet mask / 

gateway: 

Field for the static assignment of IP addresses. Please make also sure that the 

subnet mask (often 255.255.255.0) and the gateway entry are correct. (Often 

the IP address of the WLAN router).  

Note: Without a correct gateway entry, the device will not be able to 

communicate with the Internet.  

 

DNS server: 

DNS is the abbreviation for Domain Name System. The DNS server converts 

Internet addresses, for example "www.bab-tec.de" into the IP address 

"85.214.89.170" and vice versa. Without a valid DNS entry, NTP-, weather- or 

UPnP services do not work. 

 

NTP server: 

NTP is a free service for synchronising the system time of Internet-compatible 

devices. If it is not possible to establish the connection to an NTP-Server, the 

system time must always be checked and adjusted manually (see menu 

"

General

") 

NTP-Server list: e.g. 

http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/europe
