3. Network IP Addressing
The OM-ES-500 Series device is shipped in “DHCP Mode".
• On connecting to the network, the device automatically checks if it is
connected to a DHCP Server. If this is the case, the DHCP server will
allocate an IP address automatically to the OM-ES-500 Seriesdevice.
• If no DHCP Server is detected (e.g. you are using a direct cable
connection to the PC), the OM-ES-500 Series device will default to an
IP address of 192.168.127.254 within 60 seconds.
Please ensure the PC you’re using for configuration can communicate
with the 192.168.127.xxx IP range.
