Paging Relay Static IP Setup

If you are not using a DHCP server, or you have a DHCP server but are required to use a static IP address, then you must manually configure the device. (If you do have access to DHCP option 72, go to the Paging Relays topic.)

Important: Static IP setup should be performed by your network administrator.

The basic steps are:

Once your Paging Relay is connected to the switch port using a standard Ethernet cable, follow these steps so your network will recognize the device:

  1. Plug computer with NIC into the same switch as the Paging Relay.
  2. Log in to the computer. 
  3. Launch a command prompt.
  4. Enter ipconfig /all.
  5. Write down all the information for the primary NIC.
  6. Navigate to the Properties of the computer’s NIC. 
  7. Double-click on TCP/IPv4.
  8. Enter the information gathered from the command prompt as a static address. 
  9. Click Advanced.
  10. Enter a secondary IP address in the Paging Relay's range, for example: 10.10.10.25 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
  11. Click OK until all windows are closed and you are back to the desktop.
  1. Enter the Paging Relay default IP address 10.10.10.10 in a web browser on your network to open the Paging Relay interface in a web browser on your network.
  2. Log in using the default username=admin / password=admin.
  3. Click Networking.
  4. Click the Static radio button.
  5. Enter a unique IP Address for the Paging Relay.
  6. Populate remaining fields.
  7. Click the Device Config tab.
  8. Enter the Revolution IP address.
  9. Click Save, and then click Reboot.

In Revolution, go to Configuration > Other Devices > IP Device. You should see the Paging Relay listed.
