Note:
If you have troubles with setting up static and public IP address for direct connection from Internet try
using AirGate connection instead.

CM3-Ethernet module setup
All settings related to the module are to be adjusted via the controller setpoints. The respective setpoints are
located in the setpoint group CM-Ethernet.
All actual operational values like actual IP address etc. are available in controller values in a specific group as
well.
Setting-up static IP address
There are two basic ways to get the static IP address.
First way is to switch the CM3-Ethernet to manual IP address mode. Adjust the setpoint
to Manual. In that case all setpoints of IP settings (
,
,
,
) must be adjusted manually. If this method is
used several basic rules should be kept avoiding conflicts with the remaining network infrastructure:
The static IP used in the controller must be selected in accordance with the local network in which CM3-
Ethernet is connected.
The static IP used in the controller must be excluded from the pool of addresses which is assigned by
DHCP server, which is in charge of the respective local network.
The local infrastructure must generally allow using devices with manually assigned IP addresses.
There must not be any other device using the same static IP address. This can be tested from a computer
connected to the same network using "ping <required_ip_address>" command issued from the command
line. The IP address is not occupied if there is not any response to the ping command.
Note:
The list above contains only basic rules. Other specific restrictions/rules may take place depending on
the local network security policy, technology used, topology etc.
The second way to get the static IP address is to switch the CM3-Ethernet to automatic IP address mode.
Adjust the setpoint
to AUTOMATIC. In that case all IP settings are assigned by
DHCP server. Then configure the DHCP server to assign always the same IP address (i.e. static IP address)
to the particular CM3-Ethernet according to its MAC address.
