Omega-Voice VMI Technical Manual
Manually Set Network Parameters
The Manually set network parameters option is used to assign a static IP address to the IX-4EVMC
card. When assigning a static IP address, the network administrator will provide the following
information:
IP Address: This is the static IP address provided by the network administrator.
Netmask: This field is used to assign the subnet mask used by the network.
Broadcast Address: This field for factory use only and must not be modified.
DNS Server(s): This field for factory use only and must not be modified.
Gateway: This field is used to assign the router address to be used when talking to devices outside
of the subnet. If the Gateway field is left blank, remote communication is not possible.
Mac Address: This field for factory use only and must not be modified.
Hostname: This field is used to assign a symbolic name (i.e., IX-4EVMC) for a specific IP
address.
Connecting to the IX-4EVMC via IP
When programming an IX-4EVMC card, the preferred method of programming is via an IP
connection. This has many benefits such as programming anywhere on the LAN. Additionally, remote
programming is possible through the Internet.
The IX-4EVMC can be configured as either DHCP or with a static IP address. The IX-4EVMC card
is configured as DCHP at default. The physical connection is the same for both addressing methods.
However, based on the addressing configuration, the communication connection methods differ. The
following instructions outline both and assume the IX-4EVMC was properly configured using the
instructions provided in the Configuring the IX-4EVMC for IP Connection section of this Engineering
Bulletin.
