Assigning IP Addressing Parameters

IP Addressing Parameters

When a new BMEAHI0812 or BMEAHO0412 module is shipped from the factory, it does not come with pre-configured IP address settings. IP address settings include:

IP address
subnet mask
default gateway

You need to configure the module to receive IP address settings from a DHCP server.

First Power-Up

When you first connect the module to an Ethernet network and power it up, it transmits a request for IP address settings. The request can be handled by a DHCP server.

If both of the following conditions exist, the server assigns the module its IP address settings:

DHCP server exists on the network.
The server is configured to recognize the module by its device name.

NOTE: Consult with your system administrator to determine if a DHCP server exists on your network. Your system administrator can help you configure the server to maintain the module IP address settings.
