The IP address can be defined in the
IP
Properties window.
The following options are available for setting the IP address:
Options:
Obtain an IP address automatically
Use a static IP address
• Obtain an IP address automatically:
In the default setting the IP Router Secure expects the
assignment of an IP address by a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server. This server
responds to a request by assigning a free IP address to the device. If a DHCP server is not available
in the network, the device starts an auto IP procedure. It assigns itself an address from the reserved
range for auto IP addresses (169.254.1.0 to 196.254.254.255).
Refer to chapter 4.1.1,
Assignment of IP address , for information about DHCP.
• Use a static IP address:
If no DHCP server is installed on the network or if the IP address should
remain the same, it can be assigned as static.
When assigning static IP addresses, ensure that each device receives a different IP address.
Note
The routing multicast address is only displayed here.
For setting the routing multicast address, see Multicast Address .
Note
The MAC address is read from the device after a download.
The MAC address is additionally labeled on the device, or it can be determined via the i-bus ® Tool.
Note
A description of the functions is provided in the i-bus ® Tool online help.
