Ethernet 10/100 Network Interface
The PostX Module can communicate over a 10/100 Ethernet network using the TCP/IP protocol. This is used
for IP Reporting and configuration of the unit using an Internet browser.
The default IP address for the Ethernet interface is set to a static IP address of 192.168.1.2 with a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0. These IP address settings are commonly used for internal networks. There are a number of
ways to change the IP address of the PostX Module. Refer to the section Default Static IP Address Mode (see
page 37) for details.
When installing an Ethernet connection, the PostX Module should be interfaced using a standard segment
(<100M in length) and should be connected to a suitable Ethernet hub or switch.

Installing the PostX Module on an active network requires knowledge of the configuration and
structure for the network. Always consult the network or system administrator and ask them to
provide you with a fixed IP Address that can be assigned to the PostX Module.
