Before you can use Synergis™ IX controllers in your system, you must configure their
network settings.
Before you begin
Your network administrator must assign a static IP address to each Synergis IX controller used in your system.
What you should know
The controller configuration is done through the
Synergis™ IX Portal.
Only the essential settings are described here.
For more information on using the Synergis™ IX Portal, see
Using Synergis™ IX - Programming Reference
Manual
. You can access it by clicking Help in the
Synergis™ IX Portal.
Procedure
-
Log on to the Synergis IX controller.
-
In the portal menu, click .
-
On the System Settings page, click the
General tab and enter the Name of the
controller.
The name is used to easily identify the controller to the users. Ideally, the name
should describe the premises or the building where the panel is installed.
-
Click the Adaptor - Onboard Ethernet tab and enter the following
information.
- Enable DHCP
- When enabled, the controller uses DHCP to dynamically allocate an IP address
instead of using a static IP address. To use DHCP, there must be a DHCP server on
the network you are attempting to connect to. Ensure that the DHCP server has a
static allocation for each unit.
- IP Address
- The controller must be programmed with a valid TCP/IP address to allow
communication. If DHCP is disabled, enter a static IP address.
IMPORTANT: Synergis IX can only be enrolled to the Synergis™ Cloud Link using
a static IP.
-
Click Save.
-
Power cycle the controller.
