Assigning an IP Address to the Centric
This procedure assigns an IP address to the Centric. Assigning an IP address enables you, the user, to
remotely monitor the Centric over an IP network. If you do not intend to monitor the Centric remotely, this
step can be skipped. If you decide later to implement remote monitoring, you can perform this process at
that time.
The Centric supports use of a fixed IP address, and also supports dynamic assignment of IP addresses
(DHCP). Consult your IT systems administrator and determine if your IP network supports DHCP, and if
there is a preference for using either a fixed IP address or a dynamically assigned IP address for the
Centric.
To obtain an IP address automatically (your network must support DHCP):
From the Main Menu select Setup > Connectivity > Network Configuration.
Press the button labeled "Obtain an IP address automatically".
The Centric software obtains an IP address and then reboots itself.
To assign an IP address manually:
Press the button labeled "Use static IP address".
The IP definition screen is displayed
You will have previously obtained from your network support personnel an IP address for the Centric,
as well as a subnet mask, a gateway address, a primary DNS address and a secondary DNS address.
Enter these addresses now. To select an address field on the screen, press the field with your finger.
(Depending on the particular model of screen on your system, dragging your finger lightly across the
field from right to left may yield best results).Use the virtual keyboard on the screen to enter the
digits and dots that make up the address. Press the "Confirm" key when you have finished entering
all of the addresses. This causes the entered addresses to be saved in the Centric's non-volatile
memory.
