Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection

It is necessary to tell the device which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a
Master" is done via the System Settings page where you configure the IP Address, System Number and
Username/Password information assigned to the target Master. Until those parameters are configured,
your Connection Status icon will remain red, indicating there is no current connection to a Master.

Step1: Configure the Panel's Wired IP Settings

The only method of communicating to a target Master over the Internet is via a direct Ethernet
connection. To do so, you must configure the connection parameters through the System Settings page.
This type of communication can be established either via either a Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) or via a
pre-reserved Static IP Address typically provided by your System Administrator.

IP Settings section - Configuring a DHCP Address over Ethernet

1. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings
page.
2. Locate the IP Settings section of this page.
3. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to DHCP.
DHCP will register the unique MAC Address (factory assigned) on the panel and
once the communication setup process is complete, reserve an IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway values from the DHCP Server.
4. Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name information.
5. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name.
6. Do not alter any of the remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once the panel is
rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after power-up.
This information can be found in either the Workspace- System name > Define
Device section of your code (that defines the properties for your panel), or in the
Device Addressing/Network Addresses in the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics dialog.
7. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page.
8. Press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the device.

IP Settings section - Configuring a Static IP Address over Ethernet

1. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower left) to open the System Settings
page.
2. Locate the IP Settings section of this page.
Check with your System Administrator for a pre-reserved Static IP Address assigned
to the panel. This address must be obtained before Static assignment of the panel
continues.
3. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to Static.
4. Press the IP Address field to open a Keyboard and enter the Static IP Address (provided by your
System Administrator).
5. Press Done after you are finished entering the IP information.
6. Repeat the same process for the Subnet Mask and Gateway fields.
