Up Time
The elapsed time since power up or reboot.
7. Record the MAC and IP address in Appendix B to ensure the device can be managed
in the future.
Changing the Network Settings
You can configure the RTU to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP and AutoIP,
or you can assign a Static IP address. Coordinate the static IP addresses with the system
Network Manager to prevent address duplication.
You cannot leave the Default Gateway blank when a static IP address is assigned. A valid
IP address is required. Use the server’s IP address as the gateway if making a direct
Ethernet connection to the device.
After changes are made, click the Apply button and Reboot the RTU to begin using the
new configuration settings. Reboot the RTU by cycling power or from the Reboot web
page.
Use a MAC/IP address discovery tool to locate the IP address of the RTU if the network
configuration settings are lost, misconfigured, or if DHCP is used. You must use the
tool on the same side of a network router as the RTU. Contact Federal Signal Customer
Support, see “Getting Service” on page 80 for assistance with the discovery tool.
