Communication: Ethernet
INTERNET INTERFACE
•
Ethernet:
It allows you to enable or disable the Ethernet interface.
•
Obtaining Address:
It allows you to define how
DigiRail Connect
will obtain an IP:
DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which
allows the IP (Internet Protocol) of the device to be assigned by the network server, or
Static
, which allows the user sets the IP address, sub-
net mask, and default gateway for the connection.
•
IP Address:
It allows you to enter the IP, which refers to the identification of the device in a local or public network, to be used by the device.
This is a required field when the
Obtaining Address
parameter is marked
Static
.
•
Subnet Mask:
Also known as subnet mask or netmask, it allows you to divide a specific network into smaller subnets, making it more effective
to use a certain IP address space. This is a required field when the
Obtaining Address
parameter is marked
Static
.
•
Default Gateway:
It allows you to enter a default gateway, which refers to the device address on the network that connects your computers to
the Internet, to the device. This is a required field when the
Obtaining Address
parameter is marked
Static
.
MODBUS-TCP
•
Port:
It allows you to define the TCP port on which the service will be available.
•
Address:
It allows you to set the Modbus address to be adopted by the device, so that it can communicate on a Modbus network.
•
Gateway Timeout:
It allows you to set the timeout (in milliseconds) of the gateway. This is a required field when the
Modbus Operation Mode
parameter of the
RS485
tab (see
RS485
section) is selected as the Gateway.
