Method for assigning an IP address to a network connectable device

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method for assigning a known IP address to a network connectable device to be installed at a local area network such that no further operations regarding assigning the IP address are required at the installation site, the method comprising: registering a global IP address at a central authority for registering IP addresses; assigning the global IP address to the network connectable device at the manufacturer site; thereby bypassing the need of assigning a local IP address to the network connectable device, at the installation site. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, setting the registered IP address to the network connectable device is carried out at the manufacturer site.
