3.6 - Using a Web Browser
In order to use the internal webpage you must know the LDT's IP
address. The default out of the box setting is 192.168.1.1 with the DIP
switches set to 255 DHCP enabled. If power is applied to the Network
LDT in this mode your Network will assign the next available IP address.
If this happens you will need to use the IPconfig or BootP utility tools to
select the appropriate IP address and to disable the DHCP mode.
Step 1: Connect the Network LDT to your network
Cable connections must be made to the Network LDT for both
communications and power. DHCP must be disabled using the IPconfig
or BootP utilities, and the switches in the Rapid Recall™ module must
be set to 255.
Step 2: Access Network LDT Configuration Module
1. With power off, remove the RapidRecall™ Configuration module.
Make sure the configuration switches are set to 255. Reassemble
unit.
2. Turn Power On to the LDT.
3. Open a web browser and type in the IP address for the unit in the address
field. Press enter and the network LDT webpage will be displayed.
Step 3: Program a New IP address (Alternate way to program the IP
address)
1. Under the Configuration tab, select Ethernet Config.
a. Enter the Desired IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.
b. Select "Save"
c. Cycle power to the unit to allow the new IP address to be set.
2. See Chapter 6 – Web Page Layout for LDT configurations.

3.7 - DIP Switch Setting 000 DHCP
The 000 DHCP DIP switch setting is a back door that can be used to
force the Network LDT into the DHCP mode. This would typically only
be used if you do not know the units IP address or cannot access the
Network LDT using the IPconfig or BootP utilities.
Step 1: Set the DIP switches to 000.
Step 2: Apply power to the Network LDT – The network will search and
assign the next available IP address.
Step 3: Once the new IP address has been assigned, un-power the unit
and remove the RapidRecall™ Configuration Module and set the
DIP switches to 255.
Step 4: Reapply power. The network will now assign the next available
IP address. From here you should be able to follow the IPconfig
or BootP instructions.
3.8 - DIP Switch Setting 001-254
The ReadyLink™ Ethernet/IP™ LDT out of the box default settings
will be DHCP Enabled and the switches will be set to 255), and the IP
address will be set to 192.168.1.1.
If the RapidRecall™ Configuration Module is set to 001-254 before
power is applied to the unit, the Static IP address lower octet value will
be set to the value of these three switches; the upper 3 octets will be set
for what was previous stored in LDT non-volatile memory. For example,
the out of box setting is 192.168.1.1. If the DIP switch settings were
set to 005 then the IP address would be set to 192.168.1.5. However, if
network communication was established to the LDT in question prior to
the switches being set to 005, then the LDT's IP address will default to
whatever the host network assigned.
The key to the 001 to 254 DIP switch settings are that they can be used
to set the lower octet of the LDT's IP address. The units default IP
address was set to 192.168.1.1 at time of shipment; however by using
one of the IP configuration utilities the IP address can be set to any
desired address.
Once the new IP address is established the DIP
switched can be used to set the lower octet.
be that you are interested in using the DIP switches to set the units IP
address but your network is not 192.168.1.XXX. In this case simply set
the DIP switches to 255 and use one of the IP configuration utilities to
assign the IP address, once set disable DHCP. Power down the network
LDT and change the DIP switch settings to any value between 1 and
254. Reassembly the unit and reapply power. On power up the upper 3
octets will be what you just set using the IP address utility and the lower
octet will be equal to the three DIP switches.
