Starting the device and setting the communication parameters
As a first step, you need to start the device and set the communication parameters of the
MA 258
i
. With the communication parameters, you determine how data is exchanged
between the MA and host system, monitor PCs etc.
The communication parameters are independent of the topology in which the MA 258
i
is
operated (see "EtherNet topologies" on page 34).
On delivery, the automatic address assignment via DHCP server is defined as the standard
setting of the MA 258
i
.

Manually setting the IP address

be set permanently, proceed as follows:
Have the network administrator specify the data for IP address, net mask and gateway
address of the MA 258
i
.
