Although the Linking Device is delivered with a pre-configured IP address (192.168.0.10),
it must be assigned an IP address from your LAN address range. Furthermore, subnet
mask and gateway IP address must be set accordingly. This information is referred to
as IP configuration.

The IP configuration can be changed via Ethernet by means of a web browser (HTTPS
protocol, recommended). In addition, if a DHCP server is available, the LD 810HSE Ex
can be configured to use a DHCP address.
Each LD 810HSE Ex sends messages to IP address 224.0.0.33 cyclically every 15
seconds.
In case that the IP configuration of the LD 810HSE Ex is not known and a serial
connection cable is not available, you could capture its Ethernet traffic with a network
monitoring tool (e. g. Wireshark) for approx. 30 seconds to find its IP address as the
IP source address of these cyclical messages.
