AutoIP

When AutoIP is enabled on the RPS computer, within 2 minutes of connecting the control
panel and RPS computer, the control panel temporarily assumes address 169.254.1.1. The
RPS IP Direct connection option only uses 169.254.1.1 to connect. The option is not
configurable in RPS. If the RPS connection fails, the control panel has not adopted the correct
IP address. To check the control panel IP address, from the Installer menu on a keypad, go to
[1] Program > [2] Network > [1] Ethernet > (choose the bus module or on-board) > [2]
Address Parameters > [1] IP Address.
If the control panel address is not 169.254.1.1, take the following steps:
–
–
–
Text for the AutoIP.reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"IPAutoconfigurationEnabled"=dword:00000001
2016.06 | 08 | F.01U.303.996
If the control panel also uses the Ethernet for IP communication, ensure you cycled
power to the control panel. When power cycled, the control panel clears the IP address
assigned by the network and adopts the AutoIP address assigned by the RPS computer.
Ensure no other device is connected to the RPS computer using Ethernet. The computer
assigns 169.254.1.1 to the first connected device.
Apply a new registry key to the computer to enable AutoIP. Be sure to obtain permission
from your company IT department before changing the registry, then:
– Open Notepad and create a new file called AutoIP.reg.
– In Notepad, include the text shown below the instructions.
– Save the file to a location on the host computer that you can easily find.
– Navigate to the saved file and double-click on it to add it to the host computer's
registry.
– Restart the host computer.
