Portsdown 4 Setting a Fixed IP Address

A Portsdown 4 can be set to use a fixed IP (IPV4, not IPV6) address if required. It is preferable to have the network router allocate a fixed IP address, but this is not always possible, so the facility has been added to the Portsdown 4.

Setting the Fixed Address

• Select "Menu 3"
• Select "Network Config"
• Select "Edit Fixed IP"
• Enter the Fixed IP address
• Enter the LAN Router Address
• Enter the DNS Server Address (often the same as the router address)
• You can then check the settings and touch the screen to get back to the Network Config Menu
• Touch the "Auto IP by DHCP" button
• The new settings will be displayed and the system will reboot when the screen is touched.
• Once the system has rebooted, the settings can be checked (if an active network cable is connected) from the "List Network Devices" button.
