Appendix B
Using the IP Address Switch
All In-Sight 4000 series sensors feature a manual switch that can be used to change IP
address settings to a known state when performing one of the following actions:
#
Using Native Mode commands to change network settings on a non-DHCP
network (or serial port) when an In-Sight PC Host is unavailable;
#
Troubleshooting network connection problems.
The IP Address switch has two modes of operation:
Force DHCP
Force DHCP mode enables the Use DHCP Server checkbox (see Section 2.5.1: Use
DHCP Server on page 21), overriding the sensor’s current Static IP address and
allowing a DCHP server to automatically assign the In-Sight sensor a network IP
address and Subnet Mask. If the Use DHCP Server checkbox is already enabled, no
changes to the IP address will occur. The sensor’s Serial Port 1 Mode setting is also
changed to ‘Native’ to allow Network settings to be configured from a remote RS232
device.
To force DHCP mode, insert the end of a paper clip into the sensor’s IP Address
switch. Depress the switch once and remove the paper clip. When all three LEDs have
stopped blinking, the sensor has been restarted. These settings will remain in effect
even after the sensor is powered down.
