4. Static IP values can be set for the LAN B side of the C2ENET-2 card the
same way. Simply select
LAN B
from the
Ethernet Adapter
list.
As described previously, the C2ENET-2 card allows you to create a sub-
network within a larger corporate or residential LAN. Here LAN A is the
public side that is visible to users on the larger network, while LAN B is the
internal LAN of e-Control devices. In this way, a network administrator
would need to provide one
static IP address, for the public (LAN A) side.
Alternatively, the LAN A side can be configured for dynamic IP addressing.
When assigning an IP address for LAN B, it is recommended that you choose
from the private IP address classes described earlier.
The network addresses of LAN A and LAN B cannot be the same. For
example, if the same subnet mask is applied to both IP addresses and the
resulting network address is 192.168.1.0, then an error message will be
generated.
For dynamic IP addressing:
1. Select
the
DHCP
check box to enable DHCP with Windows 2000 Server; for
Windows NT 4.0 Server, select
both
the
DHCP
and the
WINS
check boxes.
(The IP address and IP mask fields will be ignored if either check box is
selected.)
2. Enter the hostname of the control system in the
Hostname
field. The
hostname identifies the machine on the network and is automatically
translated into the numerical IP address. The hostname can consist of up to
64 characters. Valid characters are 0 – 9, A – Z (not case-sensitive), and the
