WPS-300-ENC-4IP Installation Manual
12.4- IP Settings
Pg. 24
12.4.1- IP Assignment
Allows for configuration of the Encoder's network settings for IP communication. We recommend that this
information is provided by the network administrator to avoid address conflicts with other devices on the
network.
Note: The IP settings received via DHCP will be displayed in all fields after selecting Static IP.
These settings should be changed to those assigned by the network administrator to ensure
compatibility and prevent conflicts with existing devices on the network.
IP Type
By Default the Encoders are set to DHCP, which will pull network settings from
the Router. We recommend that static IP addresses are used to ensure that the
Encoder will remain accessible during setup and use.
IP Address
Current IP Address of the Encoder. If DHCP is selected, this cannot be
configured, and will appear Grayed out.
Note: The static IP used must be outside the DHCP range of the router to
avoid conflicts with other devices on the network.
Subnet Mask
Usually 255.255.255.0 but dependent on the network. . Check with the network
administrator.
Gateway
This is usually the same address used to access the router. Check with the
network administrator.
DNS 0
As provided by the ISP/network administrator. If not known, the default Gateway
can usually be used.
DNS 1
As provided by the ISP/network administrator. If only one DNS address is known
or provided, enter "0.0.0.0".
12.4.2- Port Assignment
Recommended Port Numbering
Each Encoder must have a unique port number in order to access from outside the local network. To
make port numbering consistent, and easy to remember we recommend that the ports be 4 digits, and
contain the last octet of the IP address of the Encoder preceded by an 8. This will also ensure that a port
that is commonly used for another well-known service is not assigned to the Encoder.
Example:
IP Address
Port
192.168.1.050
8050
192.168.1.100
8100
Note: Accessing the Encoder remotely requires additional configuration of other settings
See step
3-Configure Encoder for Remote Access
HTTP Port
Port used by the Encoder on the network.
