6.5 IP Address
A static IP address can also be assigned in this section of the menu. A dynamic address assigned by the DHCP server
may change if the MLB-S4101 loses the Ethernet connection or power is removed. The host (client) communication
software requests a connection to the specific IP address of the serial server. If the DHCP reassigns a different IP
address the software will not be able to communicate with the hardware. It is recommended to use a static IP address.
A static IP address is permanent and will not change unless changed in the menu. In most cases the network
administrator establishes the static address to be used.
6.6 Netmask
The default LAN netmask is configured for a Class C address. This maybe reconfigured by the user.
6.7 Gateway
The gateway IP address allows users to access the serial server from outside the LAN.
6.8 MAC Address
The MAC address is not adjustable. This is assigned in the factory. Every Ethernet device manufactured has it own
unique MAC address.
