Information:
Network configuration changes do not require the Mobile Panel to be rebooted and are applied by
the system and processed immediately after saving the settings and exiting the service pages (see
"Service page "Save & exit"" on page 109
).
Hostname
Default setting: Blank (no hostname defined)
The Mobile Panel is identified in the network using its IP address or hostname. If a hostname is entered here, the
Mobile Panel can be identified in the network using this name, which allows it to be accessed (e.g. by Automation
Studio).
Important information
•
The hostname must be unique in the network.
•
The name can have a maximum length of 64 characters.
DHCP
Default setting: Enabled
When the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled, the network configuration is automatically
taken from the DHCP server and assigned to the Mobile Panel; otherwise, it must be entered manually (e.g. the
IP address of the device, the IP address of the gateway, etc.).
For information about manual network configuration: see
"Network configuration without DHCP" on page 94
Activate DNS
Default setting: Enabled
If the two options
Activate DNS
and
DHCP
are enabled, then the device passes the defined hostname on to the
DNS server. The hostname is thus entered in the DNS directory and the device can be identified within the network
using the hostname and accessed by other devices.
If a hostname is entered in
mode, this option must be enabled so the hostname of the VNC or web
server can be deactivated and the associated IP address can be obtained from the DNS server.
If this option is disabled, the device can only be accessed using an IP address assigned by the DHCP. In this case,
options
DNS suffix
and
Get DNS from DHCP server
are hidden and not available:
