DHCP 

By default, NCD Gen 3 modules ship in DHCP mode so it is expected that they be 
connected to a DHCP enabled networks.  Most routers support DHCP, however if 
your network does not support DHCP then you will want to store a static IP 
address into the controller.  
 

Force Static IP for Configuration  

If your network does not support DHCP then power down the main control 
board.  Install a jumper on the two pins directly to the left of the Ethernet Jack 
then power the board up again.  Installing a jumper on these two pins will force 
the module to use a Static IP address of 192.168.1.88. This will allow you to 
connect to the Gen 3 Module for configuration on a Non DHCP enabled network 
or by connecting the Ethernet module directly to the Ethernet port of your 
PC.  When configuring settings in this way you will need to leave the static IP 
address jumper in place, alter the settings, select “Apply Settings”, power down 
the control board, wait 2 seconds, remove the static IP jumper, and power the 
board back up for the settings to be stored in the module.  
 

Factory Reset  

There is a hardware method of restoring the Gen 3 module to factory default 
settings.  To do this press and hold the button to the right of the Ethernet Jack for 
5 seconds, then release the button.  This will factory reset all setting inside the 
Gen 3 module. 
 

Note 

Always connect the Ethernet cable to the Gen 3 module and the network prior to 
powering the board up. 
 

Applying Settings  

Any time settings are altered on the Gen 3 module it is necessary to power cycle 
the module.  This can be done by manually removing power from the host board 
or by clicking the Reset button in the software/web interface.
