Broadcast Address
This is the address used to distribute a signal across a network. It is commonly used to
declare a new device has been connected and to provide information about the device
to existing devices on the network. The broadcast address commonly ends with “255.”
MAC Address
This is the MAC address assigned to the control’s Ethernet port.
Auto-Negotiate
The
Auto-Negotiation
setting can be enabled for the Ethernet port. When disabled, the
Duplex Mode
setting and
Data Rate
setting must be configured.
Duplex Mode
The
Full Duplex
setting permits simultaneous communication in both directions. The
Half Duplex
(default) setting permits communication in one direction at a time.
Data Rate
This can be set to 10 Mbit or 100 Mbit. (Default: 10 Mbit)
Default Gateway Address
A gateway is a node (a router) on a computer network that serves as an access point to
another network. A default gateway is the node on the computer network chosen when
the IP address does not belong to any other entities in the routing table.
The default gateway address is the Ethernet IP address of the radio in the control.
IP Routing Table
This table is presently NOT used for IntelliRupter fault interrupters with the SDA-4540R3
control module but will be implemented in a future firmware revision. All controls (except
IntelliRupter fault interrupters with the SDA-4540R2 control module) have two Ethernet
ports: Native and AddOn. When both ports have different IP addresses but identical
network addresses and subnet masks, issues may exist because packets could mistakenly
be sent out of the wrong interface. When both ports are configured with different network
addresses and/or subnet masks, then filling out this table is not required.
