DIP switch

The BC9191 and BC9191-0100 feature an 8-position and a 2-position DIP switch. These DIP switches have different functions.

  1. 8-position DIP switch (red DIP switch)
  2. 2-position DIP switch (blue DIP switch)

Setting the Ethernet IP address by DIP switch

The red 8-position DIP switch sets the address of the last byte of the IP address.

The factory-preset default IP address is set to 172.16.21.xxx, where xxx represents the DIP switch setting.

The last byte of the IP address is set with the 8-position DIP switch on the basis of the binary number system.

DIP switch 1:
Example of Ethernet IP address 172.16.21.1
DIP switch 2:
Example of Ethernet IP address 172.16.21.2
DIP switch 3:
Example of Ethernet IP address 172.16.21.40

The IP address is applied by restarting the BC9191.
