FN-64-CHAS Product Manual
Consult your DHCP server documentation for information on assigning IP addresses by MAC address, if this
option is chosen.
All devices which need to communicate with one another (routers, remote panels and computers) need to be
physically connected to the same LAN or allow IP packet routing between networks if on separate LANs.
SECURITY WARNING:
Multidyne devices are meant for installation in trusted LAN environments. In the event
that remote device configuration or control is desired over public networks or the Internet, it is strongly
recommended that some form of inter-network security is utilized, such as firewalls and encrypted VLAN or
secure data tunnels. This is necessary to prevent undesired access to devices.
Devices on the same LAN need to be assigned unique IP addresses in the same IP subnet. Multidyne devices
are configured by default to use IP addresses in the class C IP subnet 192.168.2.x. When integrating devices
into an existing LAN network, unique IP addresses should be assigned from the applicable network and the
Netmask setting of the devices should be set to reflect the class (size) of the IP network (the default of
255.255.255.0 is for class C, which accommodates up to 254 addresses).
The Gateway setting is required to be set to the IP address of the network gateway on remote panels which will
be accessing routers across network subnets, but this setting is otherwise not needed.
After assigning device network settings, including unique IP addresses, remote panels need to be assigned the
correct IP addresses to their
Remote Router IP
setting of the router they will control.
Additional configuration changes may be required, depending on the application and are described in
subsequent sections.
