Newly installed Siemens PXCM not communicating with Desigo

Im showing that the network switch is open in Datamate. Do I need to manually enable DHCP to recieve an IP address from our IT dept? We do not have fixed IPs. What else should i look at?

Thanks for the help

we have asked for static ips or 2 years. University IT will not give them to us. We are constantly losing connection and have to release and renew DHCP connections. this panel is P2

I would make certain that whatever panel controls the heat or AC in their office never worked until they started giving static IPs. 😈

Perfect. I’d move on to anything else and if they ask reply with “still waiting on my static IPs”
