MC-Basic:SYSTEM.IPADDRESSMASK

Sets or queries the IP address and subnet mask for the Ethernet interface. The system performs a primary test to ensure that the address and subnet mask match. Manual changing of the IP address or subnet mask may stop communication between ControlStudio and the softMC. When IP address is set to “dhcp”, softMC will try to connect DHCP server and obtain IP address.

	IMPORTANT
	Manually changing the IP address or mask may stop communication between ControlStudio and the softMC. Upon successful setting of IP address by DHCP server, ControlStudio will not be able to change IP address of controller.
