Enable and configure Ethernet for network connection with hosts
Connecting the XRC to a network requires the configuration of valid IP parameters, such as the IP address, gateway and subnet
mask. IP parameter configuration is either manual (static addressing) or automatic (dynamic addressing):
–
For manual configuration, obtain IP parameters (static addresses) from your IT administrator and type the values in the
required fields. Static addresses are permanent and remain in the device unless configuration is changed. The IP address
must be unique (reserved for the device).
–
For automatic configuration, enable DHCP. The XRC auto-populates the values in the required fields. This addressing
mechanism requires that the network connection is active and that a DHCP server on the corporate network is active. If the
flow computer is unable to connect to a DHCP server, it will not be able to configure its IP address and hosts will not be
able to connect to the XRC.
To enable and configure Ethernet:
Establish a local connection to the Entry screen as described in section
Connect the XRC Ethernet port to the network equipment (switch) with the Ethernet cable.
