IP Address Type -
IP Address Type determines the type of TCP/IP network
configuration to be used. DHCP enables connecting to the network DHCP
server, which assigns the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway automatically.
Static lets you set these parameters manually.
NOTE: If the IP Address Type is DHCP, the IP Address, Netmask, and Default Gateway
are gray, indicating they are set automatically and cannot be changed unless
IP Address Type is first set to Static. Changes are saved and activated upon
confirmation using the Apply button.
• DHCP (default) - Selects automatic IP address assignment from the LAN
DHCP server. If a DHCP server cannot be found, it fails over to the static IP
address.
• Static - Assigns a static IP address manually. The factory default static IP
address: 192.168.0.1.
IP Address -
IP Address determines a static IP address to be used for TCP/IP
networking. Consult your network administrator about how to set this value.
• If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the IP address is set automatically by the
network DHCP server and cannot be entered here.
• If IP Address Type is set to Static, enter an IP address compatible with
your LAN here. Also enter a netmask and default gateway address in the
following two parameters. Click Apply when you are ready to apply all three
entries.
• If IP Address Type is set to DHCP and there is a DHCP failure, the IP address is
set to the static IP address.
Netmask -
Netmask determines the subnet mask to be used for TCP/IP
networking.
• Enter a subnet mask compatible with your LAN. This is only needed for
Static IP configurations. The factory default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
• If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the Subnet Mask is set by the DHCP server
and cannot be changed by the user.
Default Gateway -
Default Gateway determines the gateway or router used on
your LAN for TCP/IP networking.
Without a properly configured default gateway (whether you have a router/
gateway or not), your IP Mini-Converter will be unable to see other IP Mini-
Converters on the network, although you may still be able to control this IP
Mini-Converter via a web browser. Also, without a proper gateway defined,
the discovery feature on the Network web page will not list other units on the
network.
• Enter a default gateway or router address. This is only needed for Static IP
configurations. The factory Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1.
• If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the Default Gateway is set by the DHCP
server and cannot be changed by the user.
MAC Address -
Reports the connected IP Mini-Converter's Media Access Control
Address.
Link State -
Reports the current status of the Ethernet connection.
