Close any the subsequent windows.

3.12. Applying Static Addressing to V1.4 or Higher IDS
All DS2 IDSs are programmed to receive a network IP address automatically from a DHCP
server. This service can be turned on/off of server operating systems. Other network devices
such as routers have internal DHCP servers that distribute IP addresses to devices on the network.
The DS2 IDSs can receive IP addresses from any DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not
available on the network, or subnet of the network, then the DS2s must have an IP addressed
assigned to them manually. All DS2 IDSs with software versions 1.4 or higher have the ability
to be programmed with a Static IP address.
NOTE:
When running the DS2 system off of a PC operating system, the PC must either be
connected to the DS2s via a router running DHCP server, or have IP addresses assigned statically
to the units. The following procedure shows how to statically assign an IP address to the DS2
IDS.
NOTE:
The following instructions are for non-Vista users. Vista no longer supports, and does
not include the HyperTerminal program. As an alternative, Vista users can use the supplied
program called
PuTTY
for their terminal emulation needs. The application, help files and a
DS2-Quick Start Guide can be found in the
\Support\Misc\PuTTY
directory of the DS2
Installation CD.
