14.5.6 Nucleus 2450: Changing the IP Address
The Nucleus controller IP address and network connection information is stored in the
Network.ini file on the Compact Flash card on the Nucleus controller, see section 14.5.4 for
details of the contents of the Network.ini file.
The Network.ini can be opened by using a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad at which
point it can be viewed, backed up and modified as required. If the IP address is known then
this can be done remotely via FTP software or if it is not known then the Compact Flash card
can be removed from the controller and read locally on a computer. See section 14.5.5 for
details on both methods.
Note:
If the router is only fitted with a single controller the controller will be Active rather than Idle.

Note:
Before making any changes backup the ini file to be modified to the computer. It is a good
idea to modify the backup filename with a date in case it is required at a future date.
Note:
If the controller IP address is changed remember to use the new IP address to connecting
to it.
