what IP address to enter.
The IP Address always consists of four numbers
from zero to 255, each of which is separated by a
period. Enter the address in this format.
Subnet Mask
Contact your network administrator
to get the correct subnet mask value, and enter it in
this field.
The default value, “255.255.255.0”, is the subnet
mask commonly used for small networks.
Primary DNS
Contact your network administrator
to see if a Primary DNS value is required for this E2.
If so, enter the Primary DNS address supplied by
your administrator in this field. If not, leave this field
set to “0.0.0.0”.
Secondary DNS
Contact your network administra-
tor to see if a Secondary DNS value is required for
this E2. If so, enter the Secondary DNS address sup-
plied by your administrator in this field. If not, leave
this field set to “0.0.0.0”.
Primary Gateway
Contact your network adminis-
trator to see if a Primary Gateway value is required
for this E2. If so, enter the Primary Gateway address
supplied by your administrator in this field. If not,
leave this field set to “0.0.0.0”.
Secondary Gateway
Contact your network
administrator to see if a Secondary Gateway value is
required for this E2. If so, enter the Secondary Gate-
way address supplied by your administrator in this
field. If not, leave this field set to “0.0.0.0”.
DHCP Enabled
Dynamic Host Communication
Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that assigns a dynamic
IP address to devices on a network. With dynamic
addressing, a device could have a different IP address
every time it connects to the network. When set to
Yes
, DHCP Enabled keeps track of IP addresses and
enables a new IP device to be added to a network
without having to manually assign it a unique IP
address. DHCP supports a mix of static and dynamic
IP addresses.

Set Up Network Baud
Rates
NOTE: If a baud rate is changed in this screen,
the controller must be rebooted (turned OFF
then ON again) to make the baud rate change
occur.
3.4.1
COM1 Serial (RS232) Baud
Rate
To access COM1 Serial (RS232) and I/O Network
baud rates:
1.
Press
to open the Main Menu.
2.
Press
(System Configuration).
3.
Press
(System Information).
4.
Press
(General Controller Info) and navigate
to the
COM1
Baud rate field.
The
COM1 Baud
rate field determines the speed of
communications between the E2 and an RS232 device
(such as a satellite link or PC).
The baud rate selected in this field should correspond
with the baud rate for the RS232 device. For example, if
connecting a PC to this port, the PC’s COM port should
be set up to communicate at the same rate as what is set
in this field.
There are multiple options to choose from. Select one
of the options below using
(LOOK UP) depending
on the type of connection.
