Network Settings

The Network section guides you through the network settings of the registered device. You can configure the device’s TCP/IP, RS-485, and server communication settings.

Info

  • The available network options may differ depending on the device type.

  • If the user has made any arbitrary changes, click the Apply button. Changes will not be applied to the device if not saved.

TCP/IP settings​

In the TCP/IP group, you can set the device's IP address.

Info

For more information about IP address settings during device registration, refer to the following.

Dynamic IP settings​

To configure the device to use a dynamic IP, select the Use DHCP group. The device will automatically receive an IP address from the DHCP server, which may change.

Static IP settings​

To set a static IP address for the device, deselect the Use DHCP group. You can enter the following network information:

  • OSDP ID: Enter the OSDP address of the device. This should be a number between 0 and 126.

  • Subnet Mask: Enter the device's subnet mask.

  • Gateway: Enter the device's gateway address.

  • Device Port: Enter the device's port number.

  • DNS Server Address: Enter the device's DNS server address.

  • Server Address: Enter the IP address or domain name of the BioStar X server.

  • Server Port: Enter the port number of the BioStar X server.

Tip

This feature is useful when the IP address of the BioStar X server changes. By pre-configuring this option on multiple devices before changing the server's IP address, the devices will automatically connect to the updated IP address.
