This section explains how to configure and operate the Smart CAT5 Switch 16 IP
(Smart 16 IP) system remotely over IP.
Section 2 on page 59 explains how to operate the Smart 16 IP Switching system
locally through the On Screen Display (OSD) or Control software see.

1. Configuring the IP system

The Smart 16 IP's communication interface is based on TCP/IP, and it comes
configured with the values listed below.
·
DHCP - disabled
·
IP address - 192.168.1.22
·
Net mask - 255.255.255.0
·
Default Gateway - None
If the above values are unsuitable, change the IP configuration. This can be done
in a number of ways:

2. Configuration via Device Setup program

You can download the Device Setup software from Minicom's website
www.minicom.com. Connect Smart 16 IP to the same subnet as your computer.
Run the Device Setup program and assign a Network configuration to the unit.

3. Configuration via DHCP server

If you activate DHCP, Smart 16 IP will try to contact a DHCP server in the
network to which it is physically connected. If a DHCP server is found it may
provide a valid IP address, gateway address and subnet mask. Before connecting
the Smart 16 IP to your local subnet complete the corresponding configuration of
your DHCP server.
We recommend configuring a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of Smart
16 IP. You can find the MAC address on the label on Smart 16 IP's underside. If
the DHCP connection fails on boot up, Smart 16 IP will boot with the last known
IP configuration. So for the initial use this would be the preconfigured IP address
as set out above.
