Setting The Internet Address - NewMar SPM-200 Installation & Operation Manual

View-Only: this account is able to view all of the web pages except for the Config page, but is not able to
change any settings. Once you have configured these accounts the way you want them, click the Save
Changes button. If you have configured an Administrator account, the unit will now ask you to log in with
that username and password before you can continue.
As always, don't forget to click the "Save Changes" button when you're done.
At this point you have two options:
1) Continue using the PC and the crossover cable to finish configuring the SPM-200, and later connecting it to
the network it will really use. If you want to choose this option, skip over the section "Setting the Internet
Address" for now, and come back to it later.
2) Connect the SPM to the real network now. To do this, complete the next section now and connect the SPM
to the real network as soon as you've set the Internet Address

4.2 Setting the Internet Address

The next step is to set the "IP" or "Internet address of the SPM. Each SPM is initially set to 192.168.123.123 when
it is built so the user can do the initial configuration, but that will probably need to be changed when a unit is
installed.
There are a couple of ways to get an internet address:
• The simplest way is to use what's called a "Static" IP Address. A static address is just what it sounds like, an
address that never changes. If the SPM will be part of a local network, the network administrator may be
able to assign an address.
• Or, the IP address can be assigned by what's called a "DHCP Server". This is a server on your local network
that automatically assigns IP addresses to each device on the network. An address assigned by DHCP is
called a "Dynamic" address, because the address may not always have the same value
• If you intend to connect your SPM to the public Internet through an ISP, you will have to have a public
static IP address so that it can be reached from a browser. It may not be possible to get a static address –
your ISP may only be able to assign a dynamic address. If this is the case, see Appendix A for a solution.
Scroll down on the "Config" page until you see the network settings:
