PayLink-IP/232 Configuration Guide

Page 5 of 26

change the subnet mask of the PayLink-IP/232 to encompass both subnets. By default, the PayLink-IP/232 has its 
subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0. This setting excludes all but the fourth portion of the IP address when assessing 
IP addresses. In the example above, a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 will include the PayLink-IP/232 in both subnets.

Default gateway

Configure the local IP address of the default gateway that the PayLink-IP/232 will use to communicate with devices 
outside its network segment.

DNS server IP

If an external DNS server is being used to convert DNS names to IP addresses, the IP address of the DNS server is 
entered here. By default this field is blank.

DHCP enabled

If installing the PayLink-IP/232 onto a network where IP addresses are to be assigned by a DHCP server, the “DHCP 
enabled” checkbox must be set. The PayLink-IP/232 will act as a DHCP client and obtain its IP address from the DHCP 
server/s on its LAN.

NOTE:

 When DHCP is enabled, any IP address value manually configured for the PayLink-IP/232 will be overridden.

NOTE:

 If no DNS server is running when DHCP is enabled, connection to the PayLink-IP/232 will be lost.

MAC address

The MAC address of the PayLink-IP/232 is shown for reference. This address cannot be changed.

Implementing changes:

After making changes to the network settings, five options exist:

Submit changes and reboot device

This option will register the changes you have entered into the dialog box and reboot the PayLink-IP/232, imple-
menting the changes on reboot.

Restore factory defaults and reboot device

This option will restore factory defaults and reboot the PayLink-IP/232, implementing the changes on reboot.

Exit without changes

This option will discard changes entered into the dialog box and return you to the “Configuration Menu” screen.

Reboot device

This option will reboot the device with the settings currently implemented, and discard any changes.

Advanced

This option opens the “Advanced Network Settings” dialog.
