When Would You Change the IP Address?
The default IP address of a QuickServer gateway is 192.168.2.101. You will need to change this when integrating the device into a network that uses a different subnet, or when multiple gateways are deployed and each needs a unique address.
Prerequisites
- Your computer must be on the same subnet as the gateway before making changes.
- Default gateway IP:
192.168.2.101 - Login credentials: username
admin, password on the device label. - The new IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway values for your network.
Steps to Change the IP Address
- Open a web browser and navigate to the gateway’s current IP address (default:
192.168.2.101). - Accept the HTTP prompt if displayed.
- Log in with username
adminand your device password. - Navigate to Setup → Network Settings → ETH1.
- Enter the new IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
- Click Save.
- Update your computer’s network settings to match the new subnet, then reconnect to the gateway at its new IP address.
Troubleshooting
- If the gateway is no longer reachable after the change, verify your computer is on the same subnet as the new gateway IP.
- If you do not know the current IP address, use the QuickServer Toolbox to discover the device on your network.
- If the IP address was changed to an unknown value, a factory reset will restore the default.
