24.17 Specify EtherNet/IP communication settings
If you are using the optional EtherNet/IP network unit, configure the communication settings.
EtherNet/IP communication is supported by LP-RF and LP-RV.
EtherNet/IP communication should be performed in a secure network environment.
For details about the EtherNet/IP configuration, refer to the “EtherNet/IP Communication
Guide”.
1. Establish an online connection between your PC and the laser marking system.
2. Go to the “System settings” screen and select “Communication”.
3. Specify the EtherNet/IP communication settings.
• “DHCP”:
Select “ON” (initial setting) to import the settings automatically for IP address, subnet
mask and default gateway from the DHCP server. If the network settings such as IP
address are not updated, check the connection status of the DHCP server.
Select “OFF” if you want to specify particular values for IP address, subnet mask and
default gateway.
• Network settings
If “ON” is set for “DHCP”, IP address, subnet mask and default gateway are
displayed.
If “OFF” is set for “DHCP”, specify the values for IP address, subnet mask and
default gateway.
