i-Vu Open Link

To choose an IP addressing scheme
Carefully plan your addressing scheme to avoid duplicating addresses.
•
If there is a DHCP server on the network, and, if you have a single i-Vu Open Link or multiple i-Vu Open
Links that exist on the SAME subnet, use DHCP addressing. Skip to the section
To obtain an IP address
using DHCP
(page 9).
•
If you have multiple i-Vu Open Links that reside on different subnets, you cannot use DHCP addressing.
Instead, give each i-Vu Open Link an assigned IP address. Skip to the section
To assign a custom IP
address
(page 9).
NOTE
This network configuration also requires that you configure IP Broadcast Management Devices
(BBMDs. See
To set up BACnet Broadcast Management Devices.
(page 15)
By default, the i-Vu Open Link is set up for assigned IP addressing. The default IP address settings are as
follows:
•
IP address = 192.168.168.x, where x = i-Vu Open Link address (rotary switch settings)
•
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
•
Default Gateway = 192.168.168.254
