Local IP Address: _________________________
The ePAD requires a static IP Address, such as 192.168.000.251, which is the ePAD default IP Address. This IP Address
must be outside of the range of DHCP addresses supported by the router. The ePAD default IP Address is appropriate
for most LinkSys and D-Link routers. Refer to the ePAD Technical Note: Configuring your Router (LT-0670). The ePAD
IP Address must also be within the valid range of the available IP Addresses on the Router and not used by another
device on the network.
The default IP Address for the ePAD is only suitable for local networks and not addresses on the Internet.
In a commercial installation, a network administrator may provide an address different from the default IP Address
for the ePAD.
Note:
If the ePAD IP Address requires changing, program the IP Address first using a keypad before programming the
ePAD using an Internet browser.
Gateway IP Address: _______________________
If the ePAD is going to communicate through the Internet, a Gateway IP Address is required. Communicating to the
Internet allows the users to check their DMP security system status from any computer browser in the world. If the
ePAD only communicates through a local area network, the Gateway IP Address can be left at the default value of
192.168.000.125 .
A commercial installation site network administrator may provide a Gateway Address. Otherwise, the Gateway
Address should be the same address as the Router Local IP Address. For example, if you assigned 192.168.0.1 to the
router, then enter 192.168.0.1 as the ePAD Gateway Address.
If the IP address of the router is unknown, follow the steps below to find the router IP Address.
For a Windows 2000, Windows 7, Vista, or XP
computer connected to the same network as the
ePAD:
1. Choose Start > Programs > Accessories >
Command Prompt .
2. Type “IPCONFIG” and press the Enter key. The
screen shown in Figure 2 displays the default
Gateway IP Address.
A screen appears displaying all of the addresses for
the computer. The address listed for the Default
Gateway is the proper Gateway IP Address for the
ePAD. See Figure 3.
Subnet Mask: _____________________________
Larger commercial networks may be divided into sub networks for efficiency. If so, the network administrator
also provides the Subnet Mask. Otherwise, it is recommended to leave the Subnet Mask at the default value of
255.255.255.000.
