Configuring the device in the Ethernet network
There are two connecting options to choose from, depending on your Ethernet network:
– Ethernet network with DHCP server – automatic and dynamic allocation of IP
addresses (connection with patch cable via hub or switch)
– Ethernet network (Peer-to-Peer) – manual allocation of IP addresses (connection via
patch cable)
Connection in a network with DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
The device is preset to Ethernet network operation with a DHCP server and in this case
it is automatically assigned an IP address. This operation mode does not require con-
figuration settings.
Note
If you connect the Ethernet with the power supply already connected, the
DHCP may fail to be identified. The routine for the DHCP identification only
runs during device start-up. Briefly switch off the power supply for a new
DHCP identification.
