Chapter 3 - Initial Set-up

IP addressing information

Each LINKnet module must have a unique IP address. Each LINKnet module has a unique
default IP shipping address of 192.168.1.xxx. The last 3 digits will be random for each Module
in the range of 1 - 127. When the LINKnet module is powered up in a system and it has the
default shipping configuration, it will self-assign a unique address on each LINKnet Module as
described above, with a subnet Mask of 255.255.254.0
At this point DSE can be launched and all of the LINKnet modules will appear in the Module
List.
In a LINKnet configuration there is a System Control block which contains a place to set the IP
address. If no IP address is entered, the default shipping address of 192.168.1.xxx will be used
and the TB will be self-assigned an IP address in the range of 192.168.1 and the last octave will
be in the range of 127 – 1. Counting down.
If an IP Address is entered in the System Control block, it will override the self-assigned IP
address. (if possible)
If there is a duplicate IP Address, the LINKnet will self-assign the modules in the range of
192.168.1 and the last octave will be in the range of 128 to 199.
It is recommended that an IP Address be assigned to each LINKnet module. It is recommended
that the LINKnet configuration address be used as the last 3 digits of the IP address. Thus, if
the configuration address is 10 the IP address would be 192.168.1.10
