Available static IP address
This is the unique address your network administrator will assign to your Ver-
saSync unit. Make sure the chosen address is outside of the DHCP range of
your DHCP server.
Subnet mask (for the network)
The subnet mask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that
are used in the network portion. The number of network bits used in the net
mask can range from 8 to 30bits.
Gateway address
The gateway (default router) address is needed if communication to the Ver-
saSync is made outside of the local network. By default, the gateway is dis-
abled.

2.
Set the static IP address – Command: ip4set <x>.<IP address>.<subnet
mask> Example: ip4set 0 10.2.100.245 255.255.0.0
If required, also set your gateway address: gw4set <x> <gateway address>
