AMX Enova DGX 8 Instruction Manual page 51

To connect an Enova DGX to a LAN via the LAN 100/1000 port:
Important: In order to use the NetLinx WebConsole, the Enova DGX Switcher must establish an
active connection to a LAN. Do not connect the LAN 100/1000 port on the Enova DGX Switcher to a
PC; it will not work.
1. Insert one end of the RJ-45 link cable into the LAN 100/1000 port on the enclosure.
2.
Connect the other end of the RJ-45 link cable to a LAN hub or switch. The network automatically
assigns a DHCP IP address (the assigned IP address can be changed to a static IP address).

3. Check the indicator LEDs for the LAN 100/1000 connector (FIG. 27 on page 42).
Note: When the connection is made, the DHCP server on the network will automatically assign an
IP address. If you power down and power back up, the DHCP server will reassign the IP address,
which may or may not be the same address it assigned before. To prevent the possibility of the
IP address changing at power up, you can change the DHCP address to a static IP address
(complete all of the NetLinx system setup instructions first and then see page 134).
Determining the Master's IP Address via Zeroconf in NetLinx Studio
Zero configuration (or zeroconf) technology provides a general method to discover services on a local
area network. In essence, it allows you to set up a network without any configuration. NetLinx Studio
version 3.0 (or higher) features a "Zero-Config" tab in the Workspace window. This tab provides
zeroconf networking functionality within NetLinx Studio.
The Enova DGX Switcher features a built-in zeroconf networking client that allows NetLinx Studio to
determine the unit's DHCP IP address assigned by the network. This address can then be used to open
the WebConsole interface.
To determine the IP address of the integrated Master by accessing zeroconf:
1.
Open NetLinx Studio (v3.0 or higher) on the PC. NetLinx startup takes approximately 3 minutes.
2. In NetLinx Studio, left-click the Zero-Config tab on the Workspace Bar to open the tab.
