7.2.6
Network
Summary
- Allows SM-Ethernet to scan the local subnet for other SM-Ethernet
modules.
Modules
- The network scan option scans for any module that is within broadcast
range. This is not limited by subnets, but by gateways and proxy servers. It can be
on the same subnet, or a different subnet, as long as it is not behind a gateway that
does not forward broadcast messages. The web pages will only show the first 250
modules found. The modules web page can also be used to configure the IP address
settings of other modules on the network, other modules do not have to have valid
IP settings to be found. This means that when manually configuring IP addresses,
only one module needs to be configured through parameters, the others can all be
left with the default settings and configured through the web page of the module that
has a valid IP address.
7.2.7
Configuration
Communications
- Displays and allows changes to the Ethernet and TCP/IP
settings. The Ethernet settings which can be changed here are baud rate, duplex
mode and crossover compensation. (The only possible change in the TCP/IP section
is the option to enable or disable the DHCP server).
Application
- Allows the displayed information on the Homepage to be viewed or
changed. This includes the drive name, network name, drive function and contact
details.
User Menu
- Allows configuration of the user menu (
as shown on the home page
under Parameter Summary
) to be changed.
Update
- Allows system files, language files and backup files to be uploaded to the
SM-Ethernet module.
Backup
- Allows data from the module to be downloaded for backup and security
reasons. This file can include the application configuration, module parameter values
and module security settings. This file can be uploaded to any SM-Ethernet module
(
Decrypt module security settings
not selected) or only to the SM-Ethernet module
that was used to create the backup file (
Decrypt module security settings
selected)
using the
Update
menu option.
Security
- Provides user accounts and password management facilities along with
a facility to configure the connection filters.
Reset
- Allows the module to be reset.
