An Irinos box has an integrated DHCP server. It is enabled by factory default. The IP address of the Irinos system is 192.168.3.99, the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. If the Ethernet interface of the PC is configured as a "DHCP client", it is automatically assigned an IP address from the address range 192.168.3.100 to 192.168.3.254 when the connection is established. Then no network configuration is necessary. Nevertheless it is recommended to assign a fixed network address on the PC side (e.g. 192.168.3.98).

The DHCP server of the Irinos system is enabled on delivery. This is the ideal setting for a direct connection to the PC. Before the Irinos Box is operated in an IT network, the DHCP server must be deactivated via a direct connection. This is done via the Irinos Tool. Please refer to the Irinos tool documentation for more information. |
If the use of the DHCP function is not desired, there are 2 possibilities:
a)The DHCP server on the master box remains enabled. However, the PC has a fixed IP configuration. To do this, use the following network settings on the PC, for example:
IP address: 192.168.3.98
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
b)The DHCP server on the master box is deactivated via the Irinos tool. The IP address of the Irinos Box can be freely assigned. The PC receives a fixed IP configuration.
Please refer to the documentation of the Irinos Tool for the exact procedure.
The easiest way to test whether the network connection works is via the webserver of the Irinos system. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the Irinos system in the address bar. If the network connection is working, the web page with the measured value display will now appear. Under "First aid: Network connection" the typical procedure for connection problems is described.
