* If the device fails to connect to a DHCP server, it will boot with an Auto IP (link local) address and continue to search for a DHCP server (the duration of the retry varies by device). The table below summarizes the default IP address scheme used for each type of device: Device

Fixed IP address: Static IP address, manually assigned.

For certain devices, if a connection to the DHCP server cannot be established, they will boot with an Auto IP (link local) address and continue to search for a DHCP server (the duration of the retry varies by device).

DHCP-assigned: IP address of device is assigned by DHCP server.

Connect to one or more devices with a router (DHCP make sure your computer’s network interface is configured to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, and verify that the Project Network address is the same network).īose network electronics use one of these default device address schemes (after updating to firmware included in ControlSpace Designer 5.9 or higher).

Connect to multiple devices with a network switch (link local IP addresses will be assigned automatically).

Connect directly to a single device (link local IP address will be assigned automatically).

When connecting to a device for the first time, you can assign it an IP address in one of the following ways: Normally, the Network Interface Card is set up on your computer to match the default project mask and address in the expected range, for example 192.168.0.10, and connect to devices via that Network Interface Card. When connecting to the network, the ControlSpace Designer Network Interface Card is selected automatically unless you specifically selected one after the ControlSpace Designer software was installed.

The addressing of devices within a design is managed automatically according to the currently defined project network address and the type of device.īy default, the Project Network Address is set with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Procedure Working with ControlSpace NetworksĪll ControlSpace ESP and ControlSpace EX sound processors, PowerMatch professional amplifiers, PowerShare PS404D and PS604D amplifiers, and the ControlSpace Designer software are pre-configured to operate on the same Ethernet network using standard Internet Protocol (IP) addressing.
