Set IP address of PC
The PC must be in the same IP address range as the PRIMES device.
Choose one of the following options to establish a connection between the PRIMES device and the PC.
The IP address of the PRIMES device can only be changed once this connection has been established (see
chapter 9.3.2 „Change IP address of a connected device" on page 39).
Integration of a PRIMES device into a network
Within the PRIMES device, the option DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is activated by default.
The device obtains its IP address from the DHCP server.
Direct connection of a PRIMES device to a PC
In Windows > Control panel > Network and Sharing Center, assign an IP address to your PC that is in
the same address range as the PRIMES device (e.g. 192.168.116.xyz). The first three number blocks must
be identical, the last number block can be freely selected. The IP address should be entered by a system
administrator.
The IP address of your PRIMES device can be found on the identification plate.

Change IP address of a connected device
Within the device a static IP address is stored and the function Use DHCP is activated. When establishing
a connection, the device will first wait to be assigned a suitable IP address via DHCP. If this proofs unsuc-
cessful, it will revert to the static IP address.
If Use DHCP is disabled, the device will directly use the static IP address. As a result, the connection can be
established faster.
For a connected device, both the IP address and the activation of DHCP can be changed.
If the PRIMES device is connected directly to a PC (without network), the IP address of the PRIMES
device and that of the PC must be in the same address range. If a static IP address is selected that
is outside the address range of the PC and DHCP is also deactivated, the device can no longer be
addresed.
