SubnEt The Subnet Mask address is used to divide a network into
smaller subnets. The address is a numeric entry in four parts
or octets (###. ###. ###. ###).
Key in each octet and press
ZERO
to accept it.
gAtEWAy The Gateway address allows one network a gateway to
another network. The address is a numeric entry in four parts
or octets (###. ###. ###. ###).
Key in each octet and press ZERO to accept it.
dhcP Use this to enable or disable DHCP capability. This allows a
DHCP server to automatically set the indicator IP, subnet and
gateway addresses. Choices are
on (enabled) or oFF
(disabled). Default is oFF .
con.no This stands for connection number. Under this are E-Net 1
through E-Net 5 . These are the numbered Ethernet ports.
E-Net 1-5 Choose the Ethernet port to set up. Choices available under
Type x Use this to set the type of connection; Off , Client ,
S erver , UDP or Clnt2 .
If Type is set to Off Type x is the only item listed under E-Net x . You must
choose one of the other choices to see other items listed.
Typically the subnet mask address is set to 255,255,255,0 which means the first three
octets in the device network are the same and only the fourth octet of the IP address
is unique for each device.
In most simple networks a gateway address is not used and is set to 0,0,0,0. If the
indicator is part of a network that uses an access point to another network, then a
gateway address may be required. (Consult the site IT specialist)
If DHCP is enabled on , the above settings for the IP, Subnet and Gateway are set by
the network server. In applications where the indicator Ethernet port is connected
directly to a PC, laptop, printer or other non-DHCP device, you must set DHCP to
OFF .
If the Ethernet port connection is to a PLC, the Type setting must be set to Off .
If Type is set to Off , it disables the selected port from communication to a server or
client on the network.
The Client selection is typically used when the indicator(s) is connected to a print
server or a shared printer on the network.
Host IP Address is only used if the Type setting is Client for this port connection.
