When you connect an Ethernet cable, the alarm dialler is automatically assigned an IP address. This IP address allows you to use remote setup for you dialler locally. See Remote setup (local) for further explanation.

The DHCP is set to Automatic by default.

Note: it is highly recommended to set a fixed IP address if you have a firewall in the corporate network.

Use fixed IP address

If you do not plan to set a fixed IP address, you can skip this section.

Good to know: eth1 always works with a fixed IP address.

  • Go to Settings.
  • In the navigation, scroll to Ethernet.
  • Select Ethernet (eth0) or Ethernet (eth1)1.
  • Click Edit.
  • Set DHCP to Manual and enter the details. These settings depend on your provider. Customise Ethernet settings shows you what information you need. For this information, please refer to your system administrator and/or provider.
  • Click Save.

Customise Ethernet settings

Ethernet:

By default, this is enabled. Clicking the tick will disable the component. As a result, you no longer send alarms via Ethernet.

Tip: to maintain redundancy, we strongly recommend leaving the component enabled.

You can set a fixed IP address by setting the desired IP address, gateway and DNS servers.

IP address

Enter the fixed IP address. The format is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Gateway:

Enter the Network access point. The format is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

DNS 1: and DNS 2:

Enter the DNS servers. The format is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Web interface available:

By default, this is enabled. Clicking the tick means the web interface and any REST API2 are not available via this Ethernet port.

  • Click Add.
  • Click the double arrows at Duplex speed: and choose the desired setting:
    • Auto Negotiation
    • Half Duplex 10Mbps
    • Full Duplex 10Mbps
