This address falls within the Automatic Private IP Addressing range (169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255). See
Microsoft support article 220874, How to use automatic TCP/IP addressing without a DHCP server.

you run the digiBASE-E Ethernet Device Controller software, you can choose to accept the
assigned address for each instrument or unmark the DHCP checkbox to switch to the manual
option.
Static
If assigning static IP addresses (for standalone applications or for networks without a DHCP
server) consult your network administrator first. An incorrect setting in any of the IP address
fields will prevent the digiBASE-E from communicating properly. Be sure to see Section 2.5 on
moving statically addressed digiBASE-Es without incurring communication errors.
The digiBASE-E is factory-assigned the static IP address 169.254.0.127.

If you connect a new
digiBASE-E to a PC that does not have network access, this is the IP address you will see the
first time you run the accompanying digiBASE-E Ethernet Device Controller program. Note that
it can take 5 or more minutes for the PC and digiBASE-E to establish communication. During
this period, Windows will typically display an “acquiring network address” message in the
lower-right corner of the screen.
If using multiple digiBASE-Es on a non-networked PC, all will initially have the same factory-
default IP address. Run the Ethernet Device Controller program, then attach to and manually
assign a unique IP address to each, otherwise they will not communicate correctly. (Suggestion:
change the value in the fourth dot section [triad], 127, to 126 for the second digiBASE-E, 125
for the third digiBASE-E, and so on.)
IMPORTANT — READ SECTION 2.5 AND RECORD STATIC IP ADDRESSES
Section 2.5 tells how to move a digiBASE-E with a static IP address to a different network
without encountering communication errors. However, if you assign the digiBASE-E a static
IP address, we strongly recommend that you record the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway, and store this information where it can be retrieved. You could need it if the
instrument is moved to a network with an incompatible subnet address. (In most cases of
incompatible addressing, the Ethernet Device Controller program will display the
digiBASE-E’s static address. However, for the cases in which the device controller program
cannot read the static address, if it is not recorded and available you must contact your
ORTEC representative or our Global Service Center for assistance.)
