TReX User Manual v2.14 Firmware

Concurrent WEB and CLIENT functionality.
DISABLED:
Setting to DISABLED ensures the maximum possible power savings even when an Ethernet 
cable has been connected.  When IP is DISABLED, current consumption will reduce by 
approximately 150mA and disable the TCP stack.

HOST

This is the name that can be associated to the TReX.    This name can be used directly instead 
of the IP address to address the TReX. By default is “WTE-TReX”

ADDR

IP Address for access to the TReX.  

MASK

IP Mask

GATE

IP Gateway

DNS1

Primary Domain Name Server

DNS2

Secondary Domain Name Server.

PORT

The port to use for TCP client TCP server connections.  Default is 5080.

MAC

Non-editable MAC address.
