DHCP or Static IP
The mote is configured by default to acquire an IP address via
the facility’s DHCP server. Most installations will not require
any changes on this screen. Unless specifically directed by
your IT department, keep both boxes checked.
In some instances, your IT department may request that
motes be configured with a Static IP address.
1. If the mote is connecting via the Wi-Fi network, then
uncheck the box directly under “Wlan Adapter
Configuration.”
2. If the mote is connecting via an Ethernet connection, then
uncheck the box directly under “PoE Adapter
Configuration.”
3. When either box is unchecked, a form will appear with
several blank fields.
4. The customer IT contact will provide the installer with all
of the information needed to fill out the fields.
5. Click the “Submit” button when all fields have been filled
out.
6. Go to the “Cloud” menu and click the “Test Connection”
button to make sure the mote can connect to the cloud
servers.
a. If a success message is displayed, then everything is
configured correctly, and the mote is able to talk to
the cloud servers.
b. If a fail message is displayed, then the fields should
be double-checked for accuracy.
