The current IP settings of the AC30 can be monitored using the following parameters:
0926 IP Address
0927 Subnet Mask
0928 Gateway Address
The state of the Ethernet can be monitored using the parameter

Setting the IP Address
To enable communications over the Ethernet an IP address must be set.
The IP address may be set as follows:
•
Manually to a fixed address
•
Automatically by a DHCP server connected on the network
•
Automatically by the AC30 to a link-local address using Auto-IP (also known as Automatic Private IP Addressing)
The parameters
0929 DHCP
and
0930 Auto IP
are used to determine how the IP address is set. The factory default of these parameters is
TRUE.
The parameter
0936 Setting Lock
, when set to TRUE, prevents a configuration tool from modifying the IP settings.
