Ethernet Configuration
The Android based module is capable of providing wired
internet access provided the unit was configured with this
option at production time. If it was, there will be a CAT 6,
RJ-45 (8P8C modular connector) twisted pair cable
accessible from the neck of the unit. This cable (PD106-559)
must be plugged into an accessible Ethernet port.
The Ethernet menu item allows for configuration or check of
the wired network connection. By default, the device is
enabled for dynamic (e.g., DHCP) connection. However, if
static access is required, tap on the Ethernet Configuration
button then tap the Static IP button and provide the following
information after obtaining the required IP address,
netmask, DNS IP addresses, and gateway IP address from
your information technology department personnel:
1. Leave the Ethernet Devices selection as is. The Android based module only supports a single Ethernet connection,
which is automatically named eth0 by the Android operating system.
2. Select the radio button that says Static IP under Connection Type
3. Select the IP address field and enter four octets (do not forget to enter the periods—they are not automatically
added as they are for Wi-Fi static connections)
4. Select the DNS address field and enter the primary DNS IP server address (the use of a secondary DNS IP
5. server address is not supported with this connection type).
6. Select
Confirm
to save value or discard to cancel the process.
