Installing a DI-789 to a Synchronous chain on a distributed network without
a DHCP server where static IP address are individually assigned
Installation of an Ethernet Synchronous chain connected to a distributed network that does not have a DHCP server or
where the DHCP server is turned off requires you to set a static IP to the device after installation to drastically reduce
the amount of time it takes for the TCP/IP Manager to find the device.
Note: In the illustration above, the Ethernet Synchronous Chain could be located anywhere in the network. Also, the
Hubs could instead be routers with DHCP turned off (i.e., a static IP assigned network). Contact your system admin-
istrator for details about your network.
