Changing The Ip Address; Changing The Device Name - Brainboxes ES Series Product Manual

Changing the IP Address

As mentioned in the "Hardware Features" section of this manual, the ES device is shipped in DHCP
Mode. On connecting to the network, the device automatically checks if it is connected to a DHCP
Server. If this is the case, the DHCP server will allocate an IP address automatically to the ES device.
If no DHCP Server is detected within 60 seconds (e.g. you are using a direct cable connection to the
PC), the ES device will default to the static IP address 192.168.127.254.
If you require a static IP address this can be set manually using Boost.LAN Manager.
The IP settings can be easily changed by clicking the "Change" link next to the IP Address
available in the "Device Info" section on the left hand panel of Boost.LAN Manager.
This will bring up the following dialogue box.
Click the "Assign Static IP Address" radio button and enter an IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Gateway Address, if applicable. Click "Apply" and the device will reboot and then be set to
the static IP address you specified

Changing the Device Name

The device name is the name which the device will use when it is displayed on your network. To
change the device name, click on the link in the "Device Info" section in the left hand panel of
Boost.LAN Manager.
