IP Address (Internet Protocol Address)
You can set the IP address assigned to the GS610. You can set the IP address only
when DHCP is turned OFF.
• The IP address is an ID that is assigned to each device on an IP network such as the
internet or an intranet.
• The address is a 32-bit value expressed using four octets (each 0 to 255), each
separated by a period as in [192.168.111.24].
• Obtain an IP address from your network administrator.
• This parameter is automatically configured in environments using DHCP.
Subnet Mask
You can set the mask value used when determining the subnet network address from
the IP address. You can set the subnet mask only when DHCP is turned OFF.
• Huge TCP/IP networks such as the Internet are often divided up into smaller networks
called sub networks. The subnet mask is a 32 bit value that specifies the number of
bits of the IP address used to identify the network address. The portion other than the
network address is the host address that identifies individual computers on the
network.
• Consult your network administrator for the subnet mask value. You may not need to
set the value.
• This parameter is automatically configured in environments using DHCP.
Default Gateway
You can set the IP address of the gateway (default gateway) used to communicate with
other networks. You can set the default gateway only when DHCP is turned OFF.
• The default gateway has control functions that handle protocol exchanges when
communicating with multiple networks, so that data transmission is carried out
smoothly.
• Consult your network administrator for the default gateway value. You may not need
to set the value.
• This parameter is automatically configured in environments using DHCP.
Transmission Terminator
You can set the terminator that is used when sending data from the GS610.
• Select CR, LF, or CR+LF.
• The GS610 handles CR, LF, and CR+LF as a terminator when receiving data.
Note
• If you change the network settings, the GS610 may have to be power cycled.
• If the GS610 is turned ON with the DHCP function enabled but without an Ethernet cable
connected, communication functions may not operate properly. In this happens, turn
DHCP OFF and power cycle the GS610.
• Network parameters such as the IP address must be specified also on the PC side. For
details on the setup, check the manual (help) for your PC or consult your network
administrator.
