Data Tank Gateway Functions
.4 Connections
.4.1 Basic Setup
Go to Connections -> Basic Setup.
Here you can select if the Data Tank Gateway is used as a router or as a switch. Please make
a selection here, if you want to use the Data Tank Gateway in connection with another
router or as a switch.
If you use the Data Tank Gateway as a switch, please select if you want to use a set IP ad-
dress for the Data Tank Gateway or if you want the DHCP Client of the Data Tank Gateway
to automatically receive an IP address (from a different router).
ATTENTION: Before changing the settings, please consider if you will still
be able to access the Data Tank Gateway after the changes have been made!
As an example, the access to the Data Tank Gateway without an additional
router is not possible if you select Switch -> Run DHCP Client.

Here you can set up your connection to the local area network (LAN).
