SETTING MANUAL IP ADDRESSES

If you aren’t using DHCP to automatically assign IP

addresses, you must manually set them to ensure the

two devices are networked correctly.

Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and

Sharing Centre > Change Adapter Settings

In  this window,  right  click  on  Ethernet  and  select

Properties. From the list of connections, find IPv4 and

click properties. Here you can change the IP address.

Example:

Choose a unique IP address by changing ‘X’

to a number between 1-254, in the following

IP address:

192 . 168 . 100 . X

This ‘X’ number must be different on the DLC

module and the computer.

Set the Subnet Mask to

255 . 255 . 255 . 0

We recommend leaving Default Gateway

settings blank

On  the  DLC  Module,  press

the Setup Button. The OLED

displays will show the first page

of the console setup.

Using the Page Keys underneath

the  first  encoder,  page  to  the

right and ensure that Use DHCP

is set to

NO

.

NETWORKING THEORY

On a network, devices must have a unique “address” to ensure they can communicate, this

is known as an IP address. You will need to decide whether your network will automatically

assign IP addresses to connected devices, or if you will manually assign them yourself.

If connecting DLC to your computer directly, you will most likely want to set the IP addresses

manually, however if connecting DLC to a larger network, typically the IP address will be

automatically assigned using “DHCP” (you will commonly have used this without realising

when connecting to things like WiFi networks).
