Tips:
ƒ Since we are using DHCP, we do not need to specify an IP address, subnet mask or
gateway - they are automatically assigned by the DHCP process.
ƒ If a DNS is set up on the network and DHCP has been configured to contact the DNS,
the
DNS field will be populated automatically with the IP address of the DNS. NION
uses the DNS to resolve the domain names of time servers. For more information, see
Setting up a NION as a master.

Using a static IP address
1. From the main menu, select CONFIG to display the first configuration page, LAN
CONFIG .
2. Move the cursor to the second line, next to IP .
3. Push the wheel button, then move the wheel until the cursor position indicates STATIC
IP , then push the wheel button again to confirm the settings.
4. Use the wheel and wheel button to specify an IP address.
Note: The IP address must be unique on the network to avoid conflicts.
5. Set MASK to the network mask for your network.
6. If your subnet is connected to a router and this NioNode will be connecting to devices
across the router, set
GATEWAY to the router's IP address.
If you have no router, set GATEWAY to 0.0.0.0.
Tip: The DNS field is used for contacting a DNS on the network, which in turn is used to
resolve domain names of time servers. For more information, see Setting the time and date
(on page 36).
