5. ##### To set an ExecB controller's default IP address NOTES If you want to use the default IP addressing but a DHCP server exists, follow the instructions in To set a controller's custom IP address, and enter the default addresses listed in step 2 below. A network using default addressing does not have a default gateway (IP router). If wired for power, turn off the controller's power. The controller only reads the rotary switch positions during power up or upon reset. Set the Default/Assigned DIP switch to the Default position to use the following IP networking parameters. IP address = 192.168.168.x where x is the controller address you will set in steps 3 and 4. Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 Default gateway address = 192.168.168.254 Using the rotary switches, set the controller's address to match the Address in the controller's properties dialog box in SiteBuilder. Set the Tens (10's) switch to the tens digit of the address, and set the Ones (1's) switch to the ones digit. Set the +0/+100 DIP switch to off for a controller address from 0 to 99, or to on for a controller address from 100 to 199. (On your controller, this DIP switch may be labeled 100's or +100 and 0.) EXAMPLE Setting the switches as shown in the figures below produces an IP address of 192.168.168.125.
On SiteBuilder's Network tree, double-click the controller. On the Address tab, select Use Default IP Address. In the Address (Dial Setting on Device) field, type the value of x. Click OK. NOTE The default address is an intranet address. Data packets from this address are not routable to the Internet.
