Addressing using DHCP (factory
default)

for a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is
found, IP Address, subnet mask and
gateway are automatically obtained.
2. If a DHCP server is not found, the fixed
IP configuration will be used:
3. The device will check for a DHCP
server every 3 minutes. If a DHCP
server is found, fixed IP configuration
will be discarded and the DHCP
provided IP configuration will be used.
Addressing using fixed IP address
1. Upon power-up, the device will
immediately begin using the fixed IP
configuration.
Connecting to the alarm

Internet Explorer.
2a. Enter the Device Name in the browser's
address bar.
Device Name:
TA2_XXXXX where XXXXX is the
device serial number.

Factory default fixed IP Configuration
IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
NOTE:
Browsers can locate devices in the following three
ways:
1. IP Address
Example: http://192.168.1.100
2. Local name lookup using NetBIOS name
service
Example: http://TA2_12345
This method works on a LAN if NetBIOS
name lookup is enabled.
3. DNS name lookup
Example:
http://www.yourfacility.com/TA2_12345
This method requires the device to be
enrolled in the facility's DNS server.
