MANUAL P/N 900000111 REV K
In the default configuration, the NFS-220 is automatically assigned an IP address by the network’s
DHCP server. If it cannot find a DHCP server, it will set itself to 192.168.1.220. In order to use a
web browser to control the unit, this address must be discovered.
This can be done, either by using the “Microchip Ethernet Device Discoverer” application from a
computer on the same network as the unit, or by connecting a computer to the NFS-220 console port
J10, via RS232, and using a terminal program such as HyperTerminal or Tera Term.
1.
Configure the terminal program to accept ASCII data at 115,200 baud, No Parity, 8
bits/character, 1 stop bit (115200, N, 8,1); No Flow Control.
2.
Cycle Power to the NFS-220.
3.
A short string will be broadcast by the NFS-220 that has the IP address of the unit.
4.
Note that in the example shown in Figure 2 the IP address changed upon power up from
192.168.2.206 (previous setting) to 192.168.1.129 which is the new address that the DHCP
server assigned to it upon power up.

Changing NFS220 Network IP address using Internet Explorer
Enter the IP address of the NFS-220 into the address bar of a web browser running on a computer
that is connected to the same network as the NFS-220, as shown in
