6.6 Initial set-up of the Ethernet interface on your computer
1. Assigning an IP address
To use the device in your network, you must assign a unique IP address to the device. Below is the default
factory configuration:
1. If you have a DHCP server integrated into your network, the IP address is requested from this
server. No additional manual actions are necessary on your part.
2. If a valid IP address cannot be obtained within 15 seconds, the default IP address of
192.168.0.250
(subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
) is used.
NOTE
To avoid network malfunctions, ensure that each IP address is unique within your network
and has not already been assigned!
Now, link your PC into the same network as the device. Under certain circumstances, you may need to
configure the IP address of your PC for this purpose. With Microsoft
