2.2.2 Ethernet Configuration
Use this procedure to modify the temporary Ethernet settings you set for your
module in the section on Setting Up a Temporary IP Address (page 17). Here
you assign two sets of IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address values,
one for each of the two Ethernet ports on the module. The IP address for
module's
E1
port, which is used exclusively for configuring the module, is entered
in the
my_ip
parameter set. The IP address for the module's
E2
port, which is
used exclusively for the FL-net network data transfer application, is entered in the
my_ip1
parameter set.

Determine the network settings for the two ports on your module, with the
help of your network administrator if necessary. You will need the following
information:
For the configuration port
E1
:
o
my_ip
- IP address (fixed IP req.)
_____ . _____ . _____ . _____
o
netmask
- Subnet mask
_____ . _____ . _____ . _____
o
gateway
- Gateway address
_____ . _____ . _____ . _____
For the FL-net application port
E2
:
o
my_ip1
- IP address (fixed IP req.)
_192_ . _168_ . _250_ . _XXX_
o
netmask
- Subnet mask
_____ . _____ . _____ . _____
o
gateway
- Gateway address
_____ . _____ . _____ . _____
Note:
The gateway address is optional, and is not required for networks that do
not use a default gateway.
The last octet of the
my_ip1
address (XXX, above) will be the module's FL-net
node address on the FA Control network.
Note:
Both IP addresses must be configured for different networks. This module
will communicate if both IP addresses are located in the same network.
