Assigning an IP Address to the P2 Panel

Cognitec recommends the following network configuration methods depending on the size of the network:

  • for medium-sized and large networks: automatic configuration via DHCP

  • for small networks: static IP configuration or automatic configuration via DHCP

To have a clear mapping of IP addresses to P2 panels, Cognitec recommends:

  • When using the automatic configuration via DHCP, select the DHCP assignment and map an IP address to a specific P2 panel.

  • Use a DNS server to allocate names to the P2 panels.

  • Choose names that reflect the location of the P2 panel.
