Getting connected to the FP-I4C unit

The FP-I4C unit is configured using any standard Web browser.
To perform an initial function test and to configure the FP-I4C unit, connect a PC and the FP-
I4C unit which are in the same Ethernet network and connect the 24V DC power supply.
If you connect the FP-I4C unit and the PC directly via LAN cable, you must use the ETH1
connector, which has a fixed IP address. You must also set the proper IP address in your
PC.
In larger networks where IP addresses area usually assigned by a DHCP server, you first
need to find out the IP address of your FP-I4C unit. This can easily be done with the HMWIN
Studio software. To connect the FP-I4C unit to a network with a DHCP server, use the ETH0
connector.
When you know the IP address of your device, you can open the FP-I4C Web interface by
entering the proper URL in your browser. You can now activate and configure the services
and functions you want to use.

Connect the FP-I4C unit directly to a PC

To connect the FP-I4C unit directly to a PC use a standard LAN cable and set the IP address
in your PC.
The factory default IP address of the FP-I4C unit's ETH1 connector is 192.168.0.1. This
address is printed on a label which can be found on the unit's housing.
1. Connect a LAN cable between your PC and the ETH1 connector of the FP-I4C unit.
It is important that you use this bottom Ethernet connector because ETH0 is reserved for
Ethernet connections using a DHCP server.
