OMNIS AV Monitoring System - USER GUIDE
8
IP Addressing - Front LCD
The IP address of the OMNIS is reported on the front display of the OMNIS.
A factory reset OMNIS will be set to DHCP by default. DHCP is the mode that should be used when operating the OMNIS
with a wireless router attached to one of the control ports. If the OMNIS has discovered a DHCP server, the OMNIS will
likely have a 192.168.XX.YY address. If it has not been served an IP address by DHCP, the OMNIS will default to an
automatic private address (169.254.XX.YY). In DHCP mode, the web UI host device must also be set to DHCP in order to
join the same network.
The OMNIS can be configured to a fixed IP as well. In fixed IP mode, ensure both the IP and the subnet mask for the web
app host have been set to the correct range.
1. Press the encoder on the front of the OMNIS unit, then turn the encoder to select
IP Address.
2. If the unit reports
Addressing (DHCP)
the unit is set to automatically acquire an IP from a DHCP server. Select
Addressing (DHCP)
or
Addressing (Static)
to select between DHCP or Static IP, depending on the network that the
OMNIS needs to join.
3. Once the IP settings have been made, select
Apply.
