Figure 38. Network configuration
When setting the static IP address, use an IP address and a network mask corresponding to the
network to which NETIO 4x is connected. As the gateway, use the Ethernet port of your router. If
your router provides DNS service, use it as the DNS server, too. If unsure, use a public DNS server
such as 8.8.8.8.
Pay attention to the domain configuration. Enter the Hostname, which identifies the device in your
network, and your Domain name.
When Enable UPnP presentation is checked, the device can present itself in the network using
UPnP protocols, and appear e.g. in the My Network Places folder in Windows. To enable remote
access to your NETIO 4x, check Enable UPnP port forwarding and specify the preferred web port.
After configuration changes are saved, a link with the remote access address appears next to this
option.
Caution
For the remote access to work, your router must support
UPnP protocols and the corresponding parameters need to be properly configured. If you are
unsure with the settings, consult your network administrator or your Internet service
provider. If UPnP does not work, it is also possible to statically forward an external port to
the NETIO 4x http port; for details, consult the documentation for your router.
After discovering the device in the network and performing the initial network configuration, we
recommend to disable the Allow the discover tool to change network configuration option. When
the Locate button is clicked, the red LED of output no. 1 starts flashing, making it easier to
physically identify the specific NETIO 4x device if you have more of them in your network.
