Configuring an IP/Subnet on a Controller
Purpose
Use this guide to setup the network configuration of a controller.
Common Causes
Power Loss
If the IP address was accidentally changed at the controller it will fail after the next power cycle when the new address takes affect. It will cause the system to lose communication with the Windows computer
Prerequisites
IP configuration is done on the display at the MCU
If you are installing a new Controller Card or Rabbit Card make sure you know the IP address and subnet mask.
