Description
The setpoint is used to select the method how the ethernet connection is adjusted.
FIXED
The ethernet connection is adjusted fixedly according to the
setpoints
This method should be used for classic ethernet or
Internet
connection
. When this type of connection is opening the
controller is specified by it's IP address. That means it would
be inconvenient if the IP address were not fixed (static).
AUTOMATIC
The ethernet connection settings is obtained
automatically
from the DHCP server.
The obtained settings is then copied
to the related setpoints (it is not possible to set those
setpoints manually in this setting, for more information
please see the following setpoints:
). If the process of obtaining the
settings from DHCP server is not successful the value
000.000.000.000
is copied to the setpoint
module continues trying to obtain the settings.
This method is beneficial for
AirGate connection
as it makes
the connection very easy, in fact "plug and play". When this
type of connection is opening the controller is specified by it's
AirGate ID and the IP address does not play any role.
