5. Enter the “Network segment 1”
6. Go back to calling the IP address (this is the IP of their own RCP002)
7. Enter the netmask. To save space on the screen, the netmask is introduced in form “a number”
instead of “number of points” (see explanation in section below). The numbers used are the 16
(equal to 255.255.0.0) and 24 (255.255.255.0).
8. Enter the gateway. Typically, the same value as the IP but with the final value 1
9. Enter the DNS server. In small networks, this makes the router. It is only possible to an option. If
there is more than one DNS on your network, you can enter the IP address of any of them, since
everyone must give the same answer to DNS queries.
10. If you need more local network segments, for example, for the RCPs in different segments of the
network, enable the necessary additional segments and enter the IP address of RCP002 and
corresponding network mask. See the following example.
11. Press [OK].
It takes a few seconds while RCP002 reconfigures the network. Please ask at your local network
administrator configuration settings before attempting to configure any network device in the dark, or
even can reach disturbing the local network instead of connecting to this.
• There are several changes to the assignment of the network, you may want to turn off (turn off power
supply) the RCP002 and connect again a few seconds later, to allow the system to correctly assign
the segments.
Example of manual configuration
We have a RCP002 that will connect with three mini RCPs with the following IP:
• Mini 1 with IP: 10.28.57.62
• Mini 2 with IP: 10.28.57.73
• Mini 3 with IP: 172.20.20.14
As we see, they’re in two totally different networks.
First we configure the “Network segment 1”. This is RCP002 ‘s own IP and can be any one who didn’t
come in and conflict with the existing IP. We can, for example, take an IP within the thread of one of
the minis, assigning the value:
IP address: 10.28.57.10/24
Gateway: 10.28.57.1 (same IP but with 1 in last place)
DNS: 10.28.57.200 (only matter if we connect through a router, and in this case we need to get to
your direction).
With this segment, configured could access to a RCP that has a direction any located between:
10.28.57.2 and 10.28.57.254
(exceptuando a 10.28.57.10 que é a que ocupa a própria RCP002)
Therefore, with these values, the RCP002 already could connect with the Mini 1 and the Mini 2.
