Resolution

Please see the sections below for connecting Index V4 to a wired network connection.

Connect to network IP address (DHCP)

  • Connect the V4 embosser to your network. If the network supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) the V4 embosser will now receive a dynamic IP address.
  • Verify the IP address by pressing HELP + 10 . The V4 embosser will speak the network IP
  • address.

Depending on your network setup, you may prefer to set a static IP address for your embosser.


Setting Static IP address via browser

This requires embosser firmware version firmware 1.4 and above.

  1. Open your browser and type the current embosser IP address in the address field.
  2. Select the Embosser info menu, network settings and press EDIT.
  3. Now set DHCP = OFF (the selected IP addess will be permanent) and insert your
    permanent IP-Address in the interface and press "Apply"
  4. Insert the permanent IP address in your browser, to navigate to the Index settings app.
