Description
IP address
In this area, you can change the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of
the reader. As an alternative, the configuration of the IP data can be
obtained from a DHCP server. Using the "Apply" button, you can transfer
the address data changed in the WBM to the reader. You can use the
"Update" button to update the address data displayed in the WBM or
reload it from the reader.
Note
When the address is assigned via DHCP, the option "12" (hostname) is
also supported. The hostname can be taken from the SNMP variable
"sysName".
The variable can be written using SNMP tools.
Ethernet interfaces
This area is only displayed if the "PROFINET IO interface" function has
been disabled in the "PLC" tab.
In this area, you can enable/disable the network ports of the readers. In
addition, you can enable/disable the LLDP communication protocol for
the respective interface. LLDP is a protocol for monitoring the
neighborhood.
Note: Make sure that you do not disable the port via which you are
currently communicating with the reader.
