Change DHCP to Static IP – Toolkit
GRIDlinks are shipped from the factory set for DHCP and should automatically run on any network provided there is a DHCP server. These are the final steps to change to Static IP.
DNS Considerations. When the GRIDlink is changed to a static IP, it will no longer obtain DNS server addresses from the Gateway and default to 8.8.8.8
Procedure
After following the Change to Static IP 113/135 Procedure in the right column and when the GRIDlink is accessible, take the following steps:
Configure Station Module
