In the Gateway Configuration screen, click to highlight a specific Gateway in the list, then click Gateways > Configure / Edit Network Set-
tings. Upon selection, the Network Configuration screen will open, allowing for Gateway network settings to be configured or
edited. This screen is typically used to configure the Gateway with a static IP address, configure for "Internet Gateway Connectivi-
ty" (Remote Configuration settings) and/or wireless Gateway configuration. Important: For more information about configuring your Gate-
way with a static IP address, "Internet Gateway Connectivity" (Remote Configuration settings), and/or Wireless Network Configuration, see
WI2085.
The following is a brief description of each field as it applies to DL-Windows; see your network administrator for more information if needed.

ALARMLCK).
Use DHCP (checkbox)
Use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is checked
(enabled) by default.
When checked, DL-Windows allows the
selected Gateway to accept the dynamic assignment of an IP
address by the TCP/IP network. Note that Emergency Commands
may NOT function properly using DHCP. Uncheck Use DHCP to
allow the manual assignment of a static IP address to the selected
Gateway (a warning popup appears that the Gateway may be
unreachable until it is installed on the correct network). The IP
Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway fields become
active. Un-checking Use DHCP also activates the fields in the
Remote
Configuration
Connectivity" support (though not required unless using for
Internet access).
IP Address
This field allows the (static) IP address to be manually assigned to
the selected Gateway.
Subnet Mask
The IP protocol makes use of a Subnet Mask to more efficiently
route packets to their correct network destinations.
Default Gateway
This field is the IP address of the physical device, such as a router,
for the current subnet to which you want to be connected. This field
is not to be confused with the IP address of the Alarm Lock
Gateway device installed in the system.
Gateway MAC Address
This field represents the unique 12-digit MAC Address of the
Gateway. This field cannot be edited or changed.
WAN Address (Remote Configuration area)
