You do not use a DHCP server and the answer to any of the
following questions is yes. Will the i-Vu® system:
• Share a facility's existing IP data network?

• Be connected to the Internet?
• Have at least one device located on the other side of an IP
router?
• Have any third-party IP devices?
DHCP IP Address
generated by a DHCP server
The IP network uses a DHCP server for IP addressing
NOTE Carefully plan your addressing scheme to avoid duplicating addresses. If third-party devices are integrated
into the system, make sure your addresses do not conflict with their addresses.
To set a DHCP IP address

Ethernet MAC address, and write it down.

for Address Mode.

4 Write down the IP Address.
5 Give the DHCP network administrator the IP address and Ethernet MAC address and ask him to reserve that
IP address for the router so that it always receives the same IP address from the DHCP server.
To set a custom IP address
1 Obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address for the router from the facility network
administrator.
2 On the Connections page, under the Gig-E Port tab > Primary BACnet/IP, select Custom Static in the drop-
down list for Address Mode.
