Network Settings
By default the IP-100 uses a DHCP server to assign your IP-100 with an address. This address is
for your computer to receive data from your device wirelessly.
For most users DHCP will assign your computer an address without any issues. Data is sent to
RainwiseNet where it can be viewed.
Refer to Section 4.3 if you desire to manually set a static IP address.
4.1)
Minimum Network Requirements
The IP-100 requires a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port for connecting to the Internet. The IP-100 can
be used on a local network.
It is required that the IP-100 have access to the Internet. This ensures easier configuration and
allows for remote firmware updates.
4.2)
Ports and Firewall Settings
The IP-100 communicates using port 80. All Internet connections are initiated by the IP-100 and
standard HTTP requests. In most cases no firewall changes are required. The IP-100 initiates
requests on its own. This eliminates the need to open ports in the firewall.
The embedded web server uses Port 80 and responds to standard HTTP requests.
4.3)
Setting a Static IP
To manually set network settings, refer to Section 4.3 (ADMIN).
