Network settings of the controller
The controller stores the static network configuration. It is always used
when static addressing mode was selected or in automatic addressing mode,
when it was not possible to get the configuration settings from the DHCP
server.
The controller can run in one of two modes:
•
automatic addressing from DHCP server
•
static addressing
In automatic mode (DHCP), after connecting to the network the controller
attempts to get the network configuration from a DHCP server (e.g router).
Thanks to this, manual configuration of networks parameters is not needed. In
the absence of a DHCP server on the network the controller will operate
according to the static configuration (manual setup).
When choosing static addressing, the network parameters configure
should be in such a way that the controller is able to operate on the subnet
and there is no conflict of IP addresses (devices in the network must have
unique IP addresses).
