InteliMains 210 Global Guide

The static IP used in the controller must be selected in accordance with the local network in which CM-
Ethernet is connected.
The static IP used in the controller must be excluded from the pool of addresses which is assigned by
DHCP server, which is in charge of the respective local network.
The local infrastructure must generally allow using devices with manually assigned IP addresses.
There must not be any other device using the same static IP address. This can be tested from a computer
connected to the same network using "ping <required_ip_address>" command issued from the command
line. The IP address is not occupied if there is not any response to the ping command.
Note:
The list above contains only basic rules. Other specific restrictions/rules may take place depending on
the local network security policy, technology used, topology etc.
Next way is to switch the CM-Ethernet to automatic IP address mode. Adjust the setpoint
to AUTOMATIC. In that case all IP settings are assigned by DHCP server. Then configure the
DHCP server to assign always the same IP address (i.e. static IP address) to the particular CM-Ethernet
according to it's MAC address.
Internet connection
Public static IP
If public static IP connection is to be used from the Internet, the IP address, which is entered into the client
computer, must be static and public in scope of the Internet.
If CM-Ethernet is connected to Internet via a local ethernet network then in most cases port forwarding
must be created from the public IP address of the network gateway to the local IP address of CM-
Ethernet at the port specified for ComAp protocol. Different port numbers can be used to create multiple
port forwarding rules in the same local network.
AirGate
This connection type is intended for remote connection from InteliConfig,or any other ComAp PC tool over the
Internet in situations, where obtaining fixed public IP address is not possible. Only two remote clients can be
connected at the same time.
