ModBus ID
This is the Identification or Address of the ITC Unit on a Modbus Network. The ID shall be any
number from 1 to 255.
IP Address
The Internet Protocol (IP) Address is the address or identifier of a device on a network, such as
Modbus TCP/Ethernet, which employs the internet protocol to communicate. Assignment of the
IP address may be accomplished in one of two ways:
1. Automatically assign (Default). (The DHCP Selection must be “USE”)
The IP address will be automatically established via the customer’s DHCP.
2. Manually assign. (The DHCP Selection must be “DO NOT USE”)
Select “DO NOT USE” when in the DHCP menu, then enter the appropriate IP Address via
the UP/DOWN arrow keys & ENTER button to accept.
NOTE: One MUST cycle power to the unit AFTER changing the status of the DHCP (USE
DO NOT USE) and prior to obtaining a new IP Address.
DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Status: Use or Do Not Use.
This impacts whether the IP Address is to be automatically assigned by the host DHCP Server
or manually entered by the operator. See IP Address above.
USE – Select USE if you desire to have the IP Address automatically assigned to the unit by the
resident DHCP.
DO NOT USE – Select DO NOT USE if you desire to manually assign an IP Address to the ITC unit.
NOTE: One MUST cycle power to the unit AFTER changing the status of the DHCP (USE
DO NOT USE) and prior to obtaining a new IP Address.
The factory default of the ITC is to have the IP Address
assigned automatically by the host DHCP Server. How-
ever, one may wish to manually assign or establish a
Static IP Address. Follow these instructions below to
accomplish this:
1. To manually assign the IP address (if not using
DHCP server), navigate to the COMMS menu by
logging in and then pressing the MODE key until the
COMMS menus is observed.
2. Use the DOWN or UP keys to navigate down to
DHCP within the COMMS menu, and then press
ENTER.
3. Use the DOWN or UP keys to toggle the selection
between
USE and DO NOT USE. Make sure that
DO NOT USE is displayed, then press ENTER to
confirm selection.
NOTE: After pressing ENTER, power to the
controller must be cycled for the change in the
DHCP setting to take effect.
