Step 4: Find or Set an IP Address

All encoders are configured by default with DHCP enabled. This means that when you power

on the encoder, if a DHCP server is present on your network, the encoder will automatically

obtain its IP Address and Subnet mask from the DHCP server. If the encoder cannot find a

DHCP server, you will need to set a static IP address manually using the serial (COM) port.

Similarly, if your network requires a Gateway IP Address, and this is not provided by the

DHCP server, you will also need to enter this address manually.

To Find or set an IP address manually using the serial port:



1. Connect an ASCII terminal from the RJ-45 serial port (COM1) on the encoder to the

COM port of the computer or terminal device (usually COM1), using the provided serial

cable.

2. From the Windows Start menu, go to: Start > All Programs > Accessories >

Communications > HyperTerminal and press Enter to display the login prompt.

Configure the Port Settings for 9600 baud, 8 Data bits, no Parity, 1 Stop bit (8N1).

3. Login to the encoder using "admin" (case-sensitive) for both User Name and Password.

4. When the Command Line Interface is displayed, type

Options. This will let you set IP Address, Subnet Mask, and other options.

5. When finished, type
