How to Change the IP Address of the POE-DMX4

This tutorial explains how to change the POE-DMX4’s IP address using its web interface. The default device address is 2.0.0.100.

1. Set Your Computer’s IP Address

Connect your computer and the POE-DMX4 to the same Ethernet network. Set your computer’s Ethernet adapter to a static IP address in the 2.0.0.x range.

For example:

Use a unique address for your computer. Do not assign it 2.0.0.100, which is already used by the device.

2. Open the Device’s Web Interface

Enter the following address in your browser:

http://2.0.0.100

Make sure you use HTTP when entering the address.

3. Change the Device’s IP Address

In the device’s web interface, locate the IP address setting, enter the new address, and save or apply the change.

For example, to move the device to a 192.168.1.x network, set its IP address to:

192.168.1.100

If a subnet mask setting is available, configure it to match your target network. For this example, use 255.255.255.0.

Once the new address takes effect, the device will no longer be accessible at its previous address.

4. Update Your Computer’s IP Address and Verify

Change your computer’s Ethernet IP address to the new device subnet. For the example above, use:

Then open the new device address in your browser:

http://192.168.1.100

If the web interface loads, the IP address change was successful.

Troubleshooting with DMX-Workshop

If your browser cannot open the device’s web interface, use DMX-Workshop to check whether the device can be discovered and responds on the network.

Ensure DMX-Workshop uses the Ethernet adapter connected to the POE-DMX4. Also check that:

• Your computer and the device are in the same subnet.
• Their IP addresses are different.
• The Ethernet connection and device power are working.
• You are entering the device’s current IP address using http://.

After testing, restore your computer’s original network settings if needed.
