After entering the new address and subnet mask, write them down for safekeeping (though the
unit can be interrogated for its current settings, as explained in the next section). Then press
Submit.
The unit will reboot to integrate the new settings. Next, log in again at the new IP address.

IP Address Determination and Change VIA USB port
If unable to access the Z2 Controller because you’ve forgotten its IP address and other network
settings, the front panel USB port can be used to retrieve the needed information. Plug a thumb
drive into the port and cycle the power. After power-up, the unit will store several files on the
drive; these include diagnostic log files plus a short text file that lists the unit’s network
information. Most important will be its IP address and subnet mask. After the unit is fully
rebooted the USB drive will be unmounted and can be unplugged. Use the USB drive’s LED to
indicate when it has completed downloading the log files.
Note: If you edit the parameters of any of these files, the Z2 Controller may
experience unexpected behavior.
On the USB drive, open the file named “
network-
info.txt”
It will list the parameters shown in
the figure above. If changing the network settings, follow the instructions in the
Section 3.1, using the IP address in this file to access the unit.
