TCP/IP Setup (Menu 2.3.1)
Description of TCP/IP
Setup menu
Configuration of the TCP/IP parameters must be done in accordance with the
IP address plan for the location. In order to avoid conflicts with other network
devices, consult your network administrator regarding this subject. The
TCP/IP parameters listed in the table below must be assigned before commu-
nication is possible.
Parameters
Explanation
IP address
The IP address can be assigned in one of 2 ways:
•
Automatically – from a DHCP server. These are not
fixed IP addresses. They are leased from the serv-
er. If the lease runs out, or isn’t renewed periodical-
ly, then the IP address of the device may change.
•
Manually – this is a fixed IP address assigned to a
device and has a standard dot notation, for exam-
ple 192.10.172.2.
If a manual IP address is not supplied, then a default IP
address is given. This is 10.10.10.100. This default ad-
dress is within the "private network" ranges and does
not conflict with public Internet IP addresses.
Subnet mask
Using a subnet mask increases the routing efficiency of
the network. A subnet keeps the information within the
designated subnet mask and reduces traffic over the
entire network. The subnet mask has a standard dot
notation, for example: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway
This provides routing between subnets or networks.
Enter the IP address in a standard dot notation. The
factory setting for the default gateway is 10.10.10.1,
which is not in conflict with the factory setting for the
PSS 5000 CPU boards
MAC address
Is the fixed physical address for each Ethernet Module
