DHCP Server Mode Configuration
The DZMx Plus can be set as a DHCP server, a DHCP client, or allocated a fixed IP
address.
These can be selected using DZMx Connect. Go to Settings > Preferences > Local
Network > Local Network Settings.
The DZMx P l u s operates as an internet router while in DHCP server mode. When
a PC or laptop is plugged in using the DZMx Plus Ethernet port, the DZMx Plus
DHCP server will allocate the connected device an IP address in the range
192.168.4.xxx.
Static IP Address Mode Configuration
The DZMx P l u s can be assigned static IP settings, this includes a static
IP address, a subnet mask, a default gateway (optional) and Domain Name
System (DNS) settings (optional).
Static IP settings (IP address, Subnet Mask) are set using DZMx Connect.
1.
Go to Settings > Preferences > Local Network > Local Network Settings.
2.
Select
“Static IP Address”
in the dropdown menu.
3.
Select OK then DONE.
A static IP address may also be set using the DZMx Plus Control Head:

Using the keypad select MENU > Hardware Config> Wireless and Network >
Static IP Configuration >press ENTER.
2.
Scroll to Host IP Address, press ENTER and then specify the DZMx Ethernet
interface IP address e.g. 192.168.4.100, then press ENTER.
3.
Scroll to Subnet Mask and then specify the subnet mask that matched the
IP address (previous step) usually 255.255.255.0, then press ENTER. If the
gateway IP address does not need to be configured Press END to return to
the main screen.
Optional Gateway and DNS Configuration
Independently from the IP address mode, DNS server settings can be specified to use
a specific DNS server. This will work with all 3 possible modes (DHCP client, server, or
Static IP address). This is optional as it overrides default settings provided by
DHCP mode and is only required if internet connectivity is needed in static address
mode.
Default Gateway: Specify which network gateway provides internet connectivity to
the DZMx Plus. This can be an internet default gateway.
The following steps are Optional.
1.
Using the DZMx Plus Control Head keypad select MENU > Hardware Config
> Wireless and Networks > Static IP Configuration > Gateway IP address >
press ENTER.
Note
:
When using this mode ensure that there are no other devices on the network
configured as a DHCP server.
