Ethernet
The STS has an Ethernet port and cable. (For physical attachment see
5.2 Ethernet Connection
.) The
Ethernet cable must be physically attached to the customer network and STS Ethernet addresses set
before ModBus TCP/IP, SNMP, or SNTP Time Synchronization are configured.
The
Ethernet Settings
panel in the
Settings
screen
(Figure 24) allows the operator to set an IP address
if a different address than the DHCP address is required.
•
Address
is the Ethernet IP address of the Switch, which can be set directly or by DHCP.
•
If the
Use DHCP

icon has a red X, DHCP is not used to set the IP address. Enter an
IP address in
Address
for the Switch.
