The Ethernet configuration screen enables the user to control the following IP settings:
Use DHCP (Dynamic IP)
– Checking this box enables Dynamic Host Control Protocol,
which will cause the RCM unit to derive the IP address, network gateway, and subnet
mask settings automatically from the server to which it is connected. Unchecking this
box disables the automatic mode so that the IP parameters can be set manually.
IP Address
: this (Internet Protocol) address allows other devices (such as computers) to
communicate with the RCM unit over an Ethernet Network.
Subnet Mask
: this parameter tells the RCM unit which part of its address it can share
with other devices in the same network.
Network Gateway
: This parameter represents the address of the network server.
MAC Address
: This address is constant and cannot be changed. It identifies the RCM
unit’s physical address for the network server.
