9.7.1 Ethernet Settings
The “Ethernet” screen provides settings for the network interface of the MCTB. It is accessed by pressing the
Ethernet button on the Communications screen.
The
MAC address field displays the media access control address (physical address) of the MCTB. This is a
unique identifier for the network hardware of the MCTB and cannot be changed. It is for informational purposes
and may be required by your network administrator when connecting the MCTB to your network.
The
DHCP button is used to turn automatic addressing on and off. By default, the MCTB is shipped with the
DHCP setting on. This means the MCTB will be assigned an IP address by the network router. When on, the
entry fields will be disabled, but will display current connection information used by the MCTB. In order to enter
a static address, press the button to turn it off.
To set the static network address, enter a valid
IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway . The DNS
Servers are not required, but typically the IP address of the network router is entered to provide one. Consult
your network administrator for the proper values. The IP address must not be a duplicate of any other address
on the network or the interface will not operate correctly. The entry fields except IPV4 addressing format only.
The MCTB does not except IPV6 addressing.
NOTE: When DHCP is on and the MCTB is disconnected from the network, the entry fields on the Ethernet
screen will continue to display connection information based on its last valid connection for diagnostic
purposes. The IP address on the main Communications screen (or shown in the notifications list)
always displays the current address used by the MCTB. If the IP address on the Communications
screen displays the loop-
back address of “127.0.0.1” then no connection is present.
When DHCP is off, the IP address on the Communications screen will always display the user entered
static IP address regardless of connection status. It does not indicate whether a valid network
connection is present or not.
