CHAPTER 3  |  INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

WEB INTERFACE - NETWORK CONFIGURATION PAGE

Upon logging into the web interface the Network Configuration page will be 

displayed. You can also reach this page by clicking “Network” tab at the bottom 

of the web interface. 

IP ADDRESS CONFIGURATION

IMPORTANT NOTES:

 

  •  

Setting a static IP address is NOT necessary and is discouraged. The RTI 

two-way driver uses the UPNP name of the AD-8x to find it on the network 

so a static IP is unnecessary. 

  •  Setting a static IP address and clicking “Update Settings” will cause the 

web interface to no longer be displayed in your web browser. Enter the 

new static IP address into your web browser address bar to access the web 

interface again. 

To set the static IP address:

1.   Select 

Address Type

 (set to DHCP by default): click this button and select 

“Static IP” from the drop down list.

2. Enter 

Static IP Address

: Enter the static IP address.

3.   Enter 

Subnet Mask

: Enter the network subnet used by the AD-8x and RTI 

XP processor.

4. Enter 

Default Gateway:

 Enter the IP address of the network gateway.

5. Click on the “Update Settings” button to save these settings.  

NOTE: To manually reset the AD-8x to DHCP

If the wrong IP address scheme is used during the static IP setup process, the 

AD-8x will not be accessible via the network. If this happens, the AD-8x web 

interface will not be available to make corrections and control via IP will not be 

possible.

To correct this, the AD-8x will need to be manually set back to DHCP using an 

RS-232 string so that it may rejoin the network, and allow the web interface to 

be used again.

Steps to reset IP Address Type to DHCP:

1.  Connect a serial cable between your RTI control processor (or PC) and the 

AD-8x.  (See “RS-232 CONTROL OF AD-8x” for cable requirements).

2. Send this RS-232 string followed by a carriage return: 

^rti dhcp

   • NOTE: There is a 

space

 between the “i” and the “d”.

   • The string with carriage return using Integration Designer is: 

^rti dhcp\r

3.  Follow the steps in the “ACCESSING THE WEB INTERFACE” section to gain 

access to the web interface again.

NETWORK IDENTIFICATION

This section allows you to change the name of the device as it shows up on the 

network and list of UPNP devices.

1. Unit Name: Enter a new AD-8x name

2. Click on the “Update Settings” button to save these settings.
