Connecting To A Network - Gira HomeServer 3 Commissioning Manual

HomeServer 3 - Commissioning

2.3.2 Connecting to a network

To incorporate the HomeServer into an already existing network, you require a network
distributor as well as a network cable. Please note that the network distributor and the
network cable are not included in the scope of the delivery.
You establish a connection between the HomeServer and the network by, e.g. plugging
in one end of the network cable at the network connection of the HomeServer and then
connecting the other end with the network distributor. Please note that the HomeServer
already has its own IP address as well as a netmask on delivery:
– IP address: 192.168.0.11
– Network mask: 255.0.0.0
i
Note: IP address already assigned within the network.
If the IP address of the sample project for the HomeServer is already assigned in an exis-
ting netwörk then this must be changed in the sample project (which is installed with
every Expert program).
If the IP adress is already assigned in the network then please contact your system admi-
nistrator to receive a free address.
i
Note: Change of IP address in the HomeServer.
If the Home Server has already been operated in a network with the IP address set at the
factory, but this address is later changed, then it may happen that the HomeServer is ini-
tially no longer recognized. In this case, switch off the HomeServer for a short time and
then switch it back on.
Please note that it may take a few minutes until the entire network recognizes the new
IP address. This depends on the behavior of the individual network participants (e. g. PC,
router, switch or hub).
How to access the user interface after connecting the HomeServer to the localnetwork is
described under "Functions test via internet browser" on page 16 or in the operating
instructions for the client program (available in the internet under
load.gira.de).
