Toggling Between IP Addressing Modes: DHCP and Static IP
Massio ControlPads support both DHCP and static IP addresses. You can use a static IP address which you can set via a Telnet
command (SET IP), or you can use the factory default static IP address (192.168.1.3). The default static IP address can be recalled
at any time by resetting the unit to its factory default configuration.
You can toggle between the DHCP and Static IP modes by pressing the ID Pushbutton located on the bottom of the ControlPad.
After the ControlPad boots, press and hold the ID Pushbutton for 10 seconds. While pressing the ID pushbutton, disconnect and
reconnect the cable from the LAN port on the rear panel of the ControlPad to toggle between IP addressing modes.
NOTE:
You must wait until the ControlPad is finished booting before toggling the IP address. Pressing the pushbutton while booting
will cause the ControlPad to restore its factory default settings.
When you release the Pushbutton, the switcher toggles either from static to dynamic (DHCP) IP addressing or vice versa and
remains in that mode until the you use ID Pushbutton to toggle the IP mode again or you perform a factory reset. The switcher
automatically reboots to complete the process.
In place of using the ID pushbutton, you can press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously on the ControlPad to simulate the functions of
the ID pushbutton. You must keep both buttons pressed for 10 seconds as you would with the ID pushbutton to toggle between IP
