Menu: SETUP - Miscellaneous
All parameters that affect the device’s operating system are configured in the setup -
miscellaneous menu.
MAC address
This displays the Ethernet address of the device. This number is set and registered at
the factory. It cannot be changed.
IP address allocation
The device is delivered with a preset IP address which must, however, be changed in
the setup procedure. Before you can make the input in the device, an IP address
valid for your network must be defined.
Hint:
The IP address must be unique within the network.
Please be aware that this number is not arbitrary, rather it must be defined dependent
on the network address of the TCP/IP network. The input form corresponds to syntax
(e.g. 172.016.231.005). Complete the input with “
↵
accept”.
Subnet mask allocation
The subnet mask must be input if the device is to establish connections in another
sub-network. Specify the subnet mask of the sub-network in which the device is
located (e.g. 255.255.255.000). Please observe: the IP address determines the class
of the network. The result of this is a default subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.000.000 for a
Class B network).
Gateway allocation
Enter the IP address of the gateway here, if connections are to be established in other
networks.
As the unit does not, at the moment, set up a connection itself via the Ethernet, it is
not necessary to enter a Gateway. Leave the set-up at “0.0.0.0".
The system parameters are input in the
RS232 / Ethernet
menu
Hint:
This menu only appears if the device is
equipped with an internal Ethernet
interface
