Ethernet address

You may need to ask your network administrator for advice about setting
up the Ethernet connection.

The application note APP923 – Troubleshooting Ethernet problems is
available from

www.gardasoft.com/Downloads

.

The Ethernet set up of the PP82x is not affected by cold-booting the
controller.

8.1

IP address

The PP82x needs an Internet Protocol (IP) address to communicate over
Ethernet. There are two ways to get an IP address; either programmed
into the unit or using DHCP.

For DHCP mode, the PP82x acquires its IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address from the DHCP server. Otherwise the PP82x has a fixed
IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.

DHCP mode or the IP address can be set or read using the
GardasoftMaint program available from

www.gardasoft.com/Downloads

.

The GardasoftMaint window is shown below:
