Static configuration
Figure 6-3
In order for the gateway to function with static IP the following parameters should be set:
IP-address:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Netmask:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Gateway:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Domain Name Server (DNS) connects the host name to an IP-address. The host name can for
example be”piigab.com” but its IP
-address is 91.177.244.31. DNS server is generally not needed
but in a few instances the PiiGAB M-Bus 900 must invoke a host name and in that case the DNS
needs to be set.
Example 1: When using Network Time Protocol (NTP) to set the clock it is beneficial to use host
name instead of
IP address for example ”se.pool.ntp.org”.
Example 2. If the additional application QuickPost is installed and shall send data to the servers
Example 3: If a PiiGAB 810 is being used as an M-Bus master instead of the masterport on the
PiiGAB M-Bus 900 and has the hostname min810.greenenergy.se then the hostname should be
used instead of the IP address.
The DNS server is set automatically when DHCP is being used but for static IP address it has to
be written in as an IP address if needed.
To save your settings click ”Save Ethernet Settings”. You can view your settings by clicking

Set the IP address via the MAC-address
If you are using the Wizard
it is also possible to set the gateway’s IP address by writing the
MAC-address see chapter 0. Netmask and Gateway cannot be set from the Wizard.
