5.2 Ethernet IP Configuration
Every Ethernet participant must have an individual IP address. This address may not be used a
second time in the same network. The IP address consists of 4 numbers (any 0 to 255, see also
IP and TCP/ IP (see page 166)). The first numbers define the network address, the other
numbers define the participant's address.
The IP address of the FP Web-Server can be fixed or it can be allocated dynamically by using a
DHCP-Server.
1. In a "self set-up" network (see page 168) (e.g. with only one hub) the fixed IP
addresses can be assigned by yourself
In many cases a class C network is used. The network is identified by 3 numbers.
The participants (Computers, Units, FP Web-Server...) are distinguished by the last
number (1 to 254), e.g. 192.168.206.1 to 192.168.206.254.
In case this network is connected to a second network via a gateway (e.g. the
computer for configuration might be in this network), the gateway address also
needs to be specified, e.g.:
Computer in x.y.206.z Network with Netmask 255.255.255.0, using the x.y.206.1
Gateway.
FP Web-Server in x.y.60.z Network with the following settings:
- IP Add=x.y.60.31
- Netmask=255.255.255.0
- Gateway=x.y.60.1
2. In case the FP Web-Server should be connected to an existing network, the
following data must be requested from the network administrator:
- Is there a DHCP-Server in the network? If NOT:
- IP address: Which fixed IP address can be assigned to the FP Web-Server?
- Netmask: How is the network address set up (length of the network address and/
or the participant's address)?
