WARNING: Be aware that when using DHCP, the IP addressed assigned to
the Apex base module can and will change from time to time. This can
cause problems for browsers in finding the Apex Web Interface on your network.
In addition, if the Apex is to be accessed outside its home network, manually
configuring a fixed IP address is recommended to avoid firewall problems. See
the section titled Manual Network Configuration (Optional) for instructions on
configuring a fixed IP address.
If the Apex cannot contact a DHCP server, it will configure itself with the
following network settings. If your network uses a different network configuration
than what is listed below, the Apex will be unreachable from a PC browser and
you should manually set the network configuration using the steps listed in the
section titled Manual Network Configuration (Optional).
IP Address
192.168.1.50
Subnet Mask (netmask)
255.255.255.0
Gateway Address
192.168.1.1
Primary DNS
192.168.1.1
Alternate DNS
192.168.1.1
MANUAL NETWORK CONFIGURATION (OPTIONAL)
If the network where the Apex Base Module is connected does not have DHCP
services or if the Apex is to be accessed from outside the home network (from a
cell phone or remote PC for example), manually configuring the network interface
on the AquaController Apex is strongly recommended. You need to determine an
IP address to use that is compatible with your home network. This IP address
must be unique on the network. If you are unsure what IP address to use,
consult the documentation that came with your home network router to learn
how to determine a valid IP address to use.
