Saves your settings. You must reboot for changes to take effect.
2. Select the Use the following IP address option button.
3. Enter the static IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for the Informer
device.
4. Click Apply.
5. Reboot the device for the IP address change to take effect.
NOTE: If the Informer will be used autonomously without residing on an IP network, use
the default settings network to configure the Informer. If the Informer is connected to
a network, the factory default IP settings must be changed to work with the IP network
that the product will be connected to. Consult with your Network Manager to ensure the
settings adhere to your network policy.
Once the IP address is changed, configuration is only possible when the Informer and
the configuration computer are placed on the live network together. Reconfigure the
configuration computer’s IP settings before returning to the live network. You now need to
log into the web page with the new IP address after the address is changed.
NOTE: You can use DHCP to simplify Informer deployment, but MAC address discovery
tools may not traverse routers and maintenance may be more difficult.
