The following settings have to be arranged with the network administrator:
-
IP address
: This one must be
unique
, i.e. may be assigned in the network only once.
-
Subnet mask
: Defines how many devices are directly addressable in the network. This setting is equal
-
Gateway address
: Is used to resolve addresses during communication between different networks. It
should contain a valid address within the directly addressable network.
-
DNS-Server x
: Is used to resolve a domain name into an address, if e.g. a name (pool.ntp.org) is used
-
Hostname
: Individual designation for each device. Via the hostname the device can be uniquely
identified in the network. Therefore for each device a unique name should be assigned.
-
NTP-Server x
: NTP servers are used as base for
-
Modbus/TCP Port
: Selection of the TCP port to be used for Modbus/TCP communication. Standard
setting is 502. See also
