Use the Device Settings tab to configure N4 Hubs’ IP addressing per IT requirements. By default, N4s use DHCP addressing, but after receiving a dynamic IP address they can support static IPs.
Note: The best solution for static IP addressing is to reserve an IP address for each N4’s MAC address on the DHCP server. Only when this is not an option should you set a static IP address for the N4 through Design Studio.
To set a static IP address for an N4 Hub, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the Device Settings tab of Design Studio.
2. In the Settings For dropdown, select “Hubs”.
3. Select a hub from the list of devices on the left.
4. In the panel on the right, change the IP Settings dropdown to “Static”.
5. Fill in the “IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”, and “Default Gateway” fields. These values should be provided by the facility’s IT administrator.
6. Determine when the change should take effect.
7. Click Apply To Selected.
Note: Each N4 Hub requires its own IP address.
