Setting Static IP Information

When using DHCP settings for a panel, the DHCP server will automatically populate almost all of the Network
Connections page fields, with the exception of Hostname. When setting the panel for Static, however, this information
must be entered manually. To enter the network connection information:
1.
In DHCP/Static, press the field until the entry reads "Static". This enables all of the editable Network Connections
page fields.
2.
Select the IP Address field to open the Wired IP Address keypad (FIG. 25).

3.
Enter the server's IP address and click OK.
4.
Repeat this procedure with the other fields on the Network Connections page.
5.
When finished, the new connection information will be visible in the Network Connections page.

Entering a New Hostname

In order to facilitate DNS lookup of the panel, you should choose a new hostname for the panel.
If the "Synchronize Device Names" option in the Panel Configuration page (page 29)
is enabled, the hostname is disabled in the Network Connection page and
automatically set to the Device Name.
To add a new hostname, or to change an existing one:
1.
From the Connection & Networks page, select Network Connection to open the Network Connection page.
2.
From the Network Connection page, select Hostname to open the Host Name keyboard (FIG. 26).
