Static IP

Introduction

When connecting your 22 IDEX to Wi-Fi client mode or Ethernet mode, you have two options to connect. You can use the machine's name by typing 22idex.local in your browser, or you can use its IP address. However, some routers may change the IP address assigned to your machine, making it necessary to assign a static IP address.

Connecting to Your Machine

1. Using Machine Name:
   • Open your browser and type 22idex.local.
2. Using IP Address:
   • Type the IP address that the machine obtained from your network.

Assigning a Static IP Address

Preferred Method: Network Device Configuration

It is highly recommended to assign a static IP address through your network device or by contacting your system administrator. This method ensures that your network manages IP address assignments effectively.

1. Access Your Router Settings:
   • Log in to your router's web interface.
   • Find the section for IP address assignment or DHCP reservations.
2. Assign Static IP:
   • Locate your 22 IDEX in the list of connected devices.
   • Assign a static IP address to your machine.
3. Save Settings:
   • Save the changes and restart your router if necessary.

Alternative Method: Machine Configuration

If you cannot assign a static IP address through your network settings, you can request a static IP address directly through the machine. Note that this method may cause conflicts within your network if the router assigns the same IP address to another device.

1. Access the Web Interface:
   • Navigate to the machine's web interface.
   • Go to Macros > System > Settings > Network.
2. Set Static IP Address:
   • Select Assign Static IP.
   • The machine will remeber and request the current IP address as its static IP.

Important Considerations

Assigning a static IP address through the machine itself may cause conflicts if:

• The static IP address was assigned by the router.
• The machine tries to request an IP address that is already in use by another device.

To avoid such conflicts, it is recommended to:

• Assign a static IP address through your network settings.
• Alternatively, connect to your machine using its name (22idex.local).

Conclusion

Setting a static IP address ensures consistent connectivity to your 22 IDEX. While it is preferred to assign a static IP address through your network device, you can also configure it directly on the machine if necessary. For further assistance, please contact our support team.
