Change the ProtoCessor IP Address  

 

Enable DHCP to automatically assign IP Settings or modify the IP Settings manually as needed, 
via these fields: IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and Domain Name Server1/2. 

NOTE:  If the FieldServer is connected to a router, the IP Gateway of the FieldServer should be set 

to the same IP Address of the router. 

 

Click the Save button to activate the new settings. 

NOTE:  If the webpage was open in a browser, the browser will need to be pointed to the new IP 

Address of the ProtoCessor before the webpage will be accessible again. 

 

NOTE:  For Router settings go to Section

 10.9
