9.3.5.1 NomadLink network settings
The DeviceControl application identifies a particular
NLB 60E via the allocated Subnet number. This is
displayed in the control views. The Subnet number
is shown in the NLB 60E “Homepage” display.
The Subnet number must be unique if more than
one NLB 60E is connected on the same TCP/IP
network. Press OK to edit, then use ADJUST | SET
UP/DOWN to select a value. Press OK to confirm
the new selection.
Closed Loop is a preference setting for fault indica-
tion. Select Yes or No.
If Yes is selected, the NLB 60E will report a fault
if a Closed Loop connection is not detected on the
NomadLink network.
If No is selected, no faults will be reported even if
a Closed Loop is not detected. Use ADJUST | SET
up/down to toggle between Yes and No. No is the
default value.
9.3.5.2 DHCP settings
DHCP enables the NLB 60E to automatically obtain
an IP address and Subnet Mask from the network.
When set to On, the function is similar to what
happens when the PC displays “Obtain IP address
automatically”. This requires that the functions of
a DHCP server be available on the network. Most
standard network routers today offer this functional-
ity.
When set to No (default), the NLB 60E will use the
manually entered IP address (default 192.168.1.166)
and Subnet Mask (default 255.255.255.0).
Press OK to modify, and OK again to confirm new
selection. When pressing OK you will see a display
reading:
To activate the new settings, press the OK button to
reboot. If you would like to verify that the settings
have taken effect, check the “Bridge Info” pages.
Information note: DHCP is an acronym for Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol
9.3.5.3 TCP/IP network settings
At times you may find it necessary to change the
IP address and Subnet Mask to allow the NLB 60E
to function within a Local Area Network configura-
tion, or when using more than one NLB 60E in a
larger system controlled by the DeviceControl editor
software.
Press OK, and use the SELECT UP/DOWN arrows to
move the cursor. Use the ADJUST | SET UP/DOWN
arrows to change values. Press OK to verify or ESC
to abort without saving the changes.
When pressing OK you will see the display read-
