Ethernet Interface Parameters
5.3.3
HART Protocol
The protocol parameters configure the protocols that run over the serial interface or the
Ethernet interface (HART or MODBUS).
When using the serial interface, only one protocol can be active at a time (either HART or
MODBUS), depending on the value of the serial interface parameter
Protocol Selection
. See
chapter 5.3.1
When using the Ethernet interface, there is no need to select a protocol. Both protocols run
parallel using different port numbers.
Caution!
Possible loss of Ethernet connection
After enabling DHCP using the
IP address assignment (DHCP)
parameter, the host can lose
the Ethernet connection due to the new, automatically assigned IP address.
Parameter
Description
Default
IP
configuration
mode (DHCP,
DNS)
Select
Manually
to configure the IP address, gateway
address, and Domain Name Server (DNS) manually, or select
Automatic
to enable automatic configuration via the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. If you
choose
Automatic
, all other input fields in the window will be
grayed out (read only).
Manually
IP Address
If using manual configuration, enter the IP address of the
WirelessHART gateway.
192.168.1.1
Netmask
If using manual configuration, enter the subnet mask.
255.255.255.0
Gateway
address
If using manual configuration and if necessary, specify the IP
address of the WirelessHART gateway in the IP network.
Note that this is not the IP address of the WirelessHART
gateway. If changing the
gateway address
, it can take up to
10 seconds for the changes to take effect.
0.0.0.0
DNS 1
If using manual configuration, enter the address of the first
Domain Name Server (DNS 1).
0.0.0.0
DNS 2
If using manual configuration, enter the address of the
second Domain Name Server (DNS 2).
0.0.0.0
MAC Address
Displays the MAC address of the WirelessHART gateway.
Note that the MAC address is a characteristic of the device
itself and cannot be changed. Each device has a unique MAC
address.
Write
Ethernet
Information
Applies the current Ethernet settings from above to the
WirelessHART gateway.
