Appendix

This section includes detailed instructions for module hostnames and IP addresses.
8.1

Module hostname

Determining the module's hostname:
The factory default configuration of the module allows the DHCP server to assign an IP
address. A default hostname based on the MAC address is registered with the DHCP server if
the module has not been programmed for a specific hostname. You can use the hostname for
modules configured for dynamic DHCP or static IP addresses. Hostnames cannot be used
when connecting directly using AutoIP. The default hostname for the module is the letter B
followed by the last six alpha-numeric digits of its MAC address (for example, B3F603F).
8.2

Module IP address

Determining the module's IP address (with the address switch in any position), requires one
of the following procedures:
–
–
–
Notice!
Outside access requires obtaining the public IP address and port mapping from the gateway.
8.2.1

Use DHCP to look up the IP address of a network-connected module

If the module is connected to a network, a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
server assigns the IP address to the module.
Looking up the module's IP address on the DHCP server:
1.
2.
3.
8.2.2

Use an SDI/SDI2 keypad to discover the IP address of a module

If the module is connected to a B9512G/B8512G, B6512/B5512/B4512/B3512, or GV4 control
panel, you can use a connected keypad to look up the local (LAN) IP address.
Finding the module's IP address using an SDI2 keypad (B920/B930 instructions):
1.
2.
3.
Finding the module's IP address using an SDI keypad (D1255/D1260 instructions):
1.

Use DHCP to look up the IP address of a network-connected module, page 35.
Use an SDI/SDI2 keypad to discover the IP address of a module, page 35. (B9512G/
B8512G, B6512/B5512/B4512/B3512, and GV4 only.)
Use Auto IP with a directly connected module, page 36. Within 60 seconds, the B426
temporarily assumes address 169.254.1.1 for configuration.
Log into the DHCP server.
Locate the IP address table on the DHCP server.
Use the MAC address assigned to the module (indicated on the label on the Ethernet
RJ-45 port), to find the IP address assigned to the module.
Log in to the keypad with your installer passcode, and then go to the [1] Installer menu.
Go to the [3] Network > [1] B42x > [1] Settings menu option. The keypad scrolls through
the following sub-categories, indicating the programming for: Hostname, IPv4 Source IP,
IPv6 Source IP, MAC Address.
When the you finish viewing the information, press [ESC] to exit the menu.
At the keypad, press [9] [9] [ENTER] and then press [NEXT].
