IP Reset
To reset the device to its default IP address settings, hold Button PB1 for 20
seconds. All the LEDs will flash and the unit will restart with the default IP
settings listed on the device label.
Typically these settings are:
Unit IP
192.168.1.214
Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0
Gateway
192.168.1.1

Router Ports
If you need to access the device from outside of a local intranet (hosts computer
is on the WAN side of the device router), the appropriate ports will need to be
set on the router to which the host computer is attached and also the router to
which the device is attached.
One solution
Routers allow a single device to be set so that it can be reached by using the
router’s IP address. The same can be done for the host computer, sometimes
called –“placing the device in the demilitarized zone” (DMZ). Not as secure, but
much simpler as ports do not need to be forwarded. In this case the device IP
the Router WAN IP.
Opening Ports Method
When accessing the device from behind a router the device LAN IP address is
effectively hidden. In this case the port number is used to determine the final
destination.. Only the WAN IP address of the router is reachable. The host
computer then uses the router WAN IP as the destination IP address.
The Router then uses the messages destination port, and the routers port
forwarding table to direct to the appropriate device on the internal intranet.
For example:
Host Computer has internal LAN IP of 192.168.1.214
Its Router has WAN IP of 100.78.60.21
Device issues a SNMP notification to 100.78.60.21:162 (where 162 is the port
number)
