When selecting a protocol on a communication port, the protocol’s communication parameters are displayed
in a box on the right-hand side. To save the settings of the currently opened protocol, click the
Save Settings
button. Pressing
Get Settings
retrieves the current settings from the device.
4.3.4
IP Configuration
The TCP/IP configuration is done under the Ethernet port tab as shown in Figure 9. The mandatory IP settings,
which are needed to operate the device, are marked with a red asterisk (IP address, netmask, gateway).
The
Enable DHCP
checkbox switches between manual entry of the IP address, netmask, and gateway
address, and automatic configuration from a DHCP server.
Hostname
and
Domainname
are optional entries and can be left empty. For some DHCP configurations it
may be necessary to enter a hostname. Please contact your system administrator on how to configure DHCP
to acquire an IP address. Further, you can configure up to 3 Domain Name Servers. Currently these entries
are not used.
The device comes configured with a unique MAC address. This address can be changed in order to clone the
MAC address of another device. Please contact your system administrator to avoid MAC address conflicts.
The device can be configured to synchronize its clock with NTP time. Enter the IP address of a primary and,
optionally, a secondary NTP server. The device will use NTP as a time source if the time sync source in the
system configuration page is set to
NTP
(see Section 4.2.1). The field
NTP status
below the NTP server
settings displays the current NTP synchronization status (
out-of-sync
, or
in-sync
).
If the device is operated with a 10 Mbit/s-only hub, the link speed should be switched from
Auto Detect
to
10Mbps/Half-Duplex
. With modern 100/10 Mbit/s switches, this setting can be left at its default.
Other standard protocols that are bound to the Ethernet interface are FTP, Telnet, and HTTP (Web server).
By deselecting the checkbox, those protocols can be individually disabled. The standard UDP/TCP ports can
be changed in the respective protocol settings. An example for the FTP server is shown for FTP in Figure 10.
The FTP server is used for instance to update the firmware (see Section 7.1). Note that HTTP for the Web
server can only be disabled on the console interface or by using the device configuration of the Configurator.
