Assigning A Static Ip To The Netlinx Master - AMX AXT-CA10 Instruction Manual

DO NOT enter ANY IP information at this time; this step only gets the System Master
to recognize that it should begin using an obtained DHCP Address.
6. Note the obtained IP Address. This information is later entered into the Master
Communication Settings dialog and used by NetLinx Studio 2.2 (or higher) to communicate
to the Master via an IP. This address is reserved by the DHCP server and then given to the
Master.
If the IP Address field is empty, give the Master a few minutes to negotiate a
DHCP Address with the DHCP Server, and try again. The DHCP Server can take
anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to provide the Master with an IP
Address.
7. Click the Set IP Information button to retain the IP Address from the DHCP server and assign
it to the Master. A popup window then appears to notify you that Setting the IP information
was successful and it is recommended that the Master be rebooted.
8. Click OK to accept the new changes.
9. Click the Reboot Master button and select Yes to close the Network Address dialog.
10. Click Reboot (from the Tools > Reboot the Master Controller dialog) and wait for the System
Master to reboot and retain the newly obtained DHCP Address. The STATUS and OUTPUT
LEDs should begin to alternately blink during the incorporation. Wait until the STATUS LED
is the only LED to blink.
11. Press Done once the Master Reboot Status field reads Reboot of System Complete.
12. Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The
default System value is one (1).
13. Right-click the associated System number and select Refresh System. This establishes a new
connection to the specified System and populates the list with devices on that system.
If Studio can not establish communication with the Master, wait a few seconds and
click the Retry button.
14. Use Ctrl+S to save your existing NetLinx Project with the new changes.

Assigning a Static IP to the NetLinx Master

more detailed instructions on setting a system value.
