Connecting the MELAnet Box
Assigning a free IP address to the MELAnet Box
WARNING!
Errors in the handling of IP addresses can result in faults and data loss in your user network. It is thus recommended that you engage IT specialists to undertake all work in your practice network.
In order for the MELAnet Box to be operated in your practice network, the first three digit blocks of the IP address of the MELAnet Box should conform to that of the IP address of the practice network. The last digit block is assigned to the device connected in the practice network. This number is different for every device connected in the practice network.
If the first three digit blocks are not identical, it is necessary to change the IP address of the MELAnet Box so that they are recognized within the practice network.
PLEASE NOTE
As the MELAnet Box does not support DHCP and is unable to allocate IP addresses automatically, it is necessary to issue static IP addresses.
