Software Setup
Default Ethernet Settings
The Controller uses standard Ethernet protocol (TCP-IP and UDP) to communicate. The DCS control user
interface can be used to communicate, or other software may be used to send data packets directly
from the host to the controller.

Setting
Value
Typical Port Settings
UDP, port 7777
TCP, port 777
DHCP
Enabled by default
Default IP Address
192.168.0.5
*Controller will use default IP if DHCP fails upon power up, or
if an Ethernet cable is not connected
User Assigned IP Addresses
User can assign a new IP address by sending a command, or
entering a new IP address in the “manage devices” window of
the GUI.
If a user assigned IP address is used, the controller will not
begin using that IP address until the controller power is
toggled.
Figure 7 - Example PC settings
This controller uses DHCP to automatically acquire
an IP address.
If directly to a PC Ethernet port, you
will need to set up the PC to use a static IP address
in the range of 192.168.0.x
