DHCP TCP/IP Addressing

The VertX controller's default communication configuration is DHCP addressing. When a DHCP address is
not provided, the controller will default to a static IP address of 10.19.4.129. When the controller successfully
obtains an IP address from a DHCP server, the V1000 communications will use the controller's hostname.
The default hostname of a V2000 is "VertX_Controller." Access the controller by completing the following
steps:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the controller connecting it to the computer or Ethernet Hub. See
Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found..
2. Open your Internet Browser.
3. Enter the URL of the controller into the Address field.
The default DHCP URL is VertX_Controller.yourdomain.suffix/InstallerTools.html.
Domain names identify one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com represents
about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. Every
domain name has a suffix, examples of a suffix include .com, .net, .org etc.
Note: If access to the controller is not successful, use the default static IP address (10.19.4.129).
CAUTION: For the DHCP communications to function properly the network must have a functioning DNS
(Domain Name Server) or you will be unable to communicate with the controller.
The following configuration files require editing to enable DHCP.
The Setup Host Communication screen will take you to the Edit Configuration Files screen. The
configuration files described in this section will enable DHCP TCP/IP host communications. See sections 3.2,
3.3, and 3.4 for instructions on how to start.
Select a file from the list the appropriate configuration file and click Edit File. If you need to clear the
selection, click Clear Selection.
While following these instructions edit the circled areas shown.
