Commissioning the Edge Gateway
6.1
Establishing the IP address communication
An IP address is required to address the Edge Gateway in the LAN
network.
The following figure shows the factory setting of the LAN interfaces and the
assignment of the connections.
Figure 6: Default settings of the Ethernet network connectors
You have two possibilities of establishing a connection with the Edge
Gateway (factory setting):
NetNetwork connection - alternative 1: DHCP server available
If a DHCP server is available in the network:
Ø
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the LAN connection port 1 (
eth0
)
(see position

in section

page 8]) with a
network in which a DHCP server is available.
ð
The Edge Gateway obtains an IP address from the DHCP server.
Access to the Edge Gateway is possible now.
Note:
The Edge Gateway sends a request to a DHCP server once after
switching on the device or after each connection of the Ethernet
cable, i.e. when the Edge Gateway detects a link signal. If you want
to activate a request of the Edge Gateway to the DHCP server
manually, pull off the Ethernet cable from the Edge Gateway and
reconnect it to the Edge Gateway.
