Connecting To A Network - Gira HomeServer 0529 00 Startup Information

Start-up and installation

Connecting to a network

You require a network distributor and network cable to integrate the HomeServer into an
existing network. Please observe that the network distributor and network cable are not
included in delivery.
You establish a connection between the HomeServer and the network by connecting one
end of the network cable to the network connection of the HomeServer and the other end
to the network distributor for example. Observe that the HomeServer in its state of delivery
has its own IP address and net mask:
– IP address: 192.168.0.11
– Net mask: 255.0.0.0
i
Note: IP address of the HomeServer is already assigned in the network.
If the IP address of the HomeServer in an existing network is already occupied for another
network participant, the IP address for the HomeServer can be changed in the sample pro-
ject. In this case, contact your system administrator so that you can be assigned a free IP
address for the HomeServer.
i
Note: Changing the IP address of the HomeServer.
If the HomeServer has already been in operation in your network with the factory preset
IP address and it was then changed at a later time, the HomeServer may not be recognised
in your network at first. In this case, switch the HomeServer off and then on again.
Please note that it may take several minutes until the complete network recognises the new
IP address.
How to access the user interface after connecting the HomeServer to the local network is
described on "Function test via Internet browser" on page 20 or in the operating instructions
for the client program (available via the Internet at
14
).
