Meaning of the DIP switch
Setting the IP address via DIP switch
The IP address for the switched Ethernet interfaces X001/X002 can be set using the DIP switches S001.
The DIP switches have priority over the settings in the Device Manager. After a change, a reboot must be carried out (open Device Manager => Device => Boot => Reboot).
 | Delivery state On delivery, the EK9160 is set to DHCP (DIP switch 9 to "off" and 10 to "on"). When the EK9160 is connected to an Ethernet network, it expects to be assigned an IP address. If there is no DHCP server in the network, a random IP address 192.168.1.xxx is selected. The last byte of the IP address can be set using the DIP switches. |
