Dynamic IP
#
Description
1 Click on
Ethernet Setup
at the top menu bar.
2 Select
DHCP
for the
Ethernet Mode
drop down menu. It is not necessary to change the
IP Address
,
IP Subnet
, and
IP Gateway
settings.
3 Click
Apply Settings
. Please note that once Apply Settings is clicked, you will no longer
be able to communicate with the module until it is connected to the Ethernet Router
setup for Dynamic IP addressing. If there are ever problems accessing the module, the
AMP-1030P can always be placed back into its factory default state for the Ethernet
Settings using the IP Address Reset button on the bottom side of the module. See
paragraph 6.2 for more details.
4 Connect the Ethernet cable from the Ethernet Router directly to the AMP-1030P module.
5 There are two ways in which to determine the dynamic IP address once it has been
assigned to the module. The first is to use the Admin function of the Ethernet Router and
determine the Dynamic IP address which has been assigned to the AMP-1030P module.
The second is to connect to the USB port of the module and open the USB GUI. Click on
the Device Info box and the Device Information window will display the current IP
address.
6 Using a computer which can also access this Ethernet Router, open a Chrome, Firefox, or
Internet Explorer browser window.
7 In the browser’s URL window, type the newly found Dynamic IP address of the module
and wait for the AMP-1030P main screen to appear.
8 Proceed to paragraph 8.0 which describes the various screens, control, and status capable
of being implemented with the HTML browser.

IP Address Reset Button (on bottom side of module)
The IP address reset button is located on the bottom side of the module, see Figure 6.2-1, and is
recessed so it is not possible to inadvertently reset the IP address. The tip of an ordinary ball point
pen can be used to press this reset button. Pressing and holding the IP Address Reset button for at
least 1 second reconfigures the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port to its default state which is: Static IP
address mode, IP address = 192.168.1.234, Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0, Default gateway =
192.168.1.254. During the execution of this command, the optical communications link is not
interrupted.
