fields.
Table 3-5 Network Settings Field Descriptions
Field
Description
Addressing
MAC Address
Displays a factory assigned value installed in the thermostat
which uniquely identifies the thermostat on the local network for
transmitting and receiving network information.
The system displays the MAC address in the format of
00:11:49:AB:CD:EF, where AB:CD:EF is a unique value for
each thermostat.
IP Address Method
Select the method by which the thermostat receives the unique
Internet Protocol address for the local network. IP addressing
can be either automatically assigned via a local DHCP server or
manually (
Static
) assigned by the user. (See
DHCP Assigned IP
Addresses (page 3-2)
.)
DHCP
(default) – IP addressing method is DHCP assigned.
Static
– IP address is manually assigned by the user.
After the initial configuration of the thermostat, you should
assign IP address to
Static
to ensure a permanent IP address
assignment for remote access or for simplified local access.
IP Address
Displays the unique Internet Protocol address either assigned
statically or by DHCP. (See
IP Address Method
.) (You must
click
Submit
after changing this parameter to invoke a software
reset to set the new value.)
A.B.C.D
– Four field standard dot notation for IP address
designation.
Subnet Mask
Enter the IP subnet on which the thermostat IP address is
assigned. The subnet can include 256, 65536 or 16772216 IP
addresses. (You must click
Submit
after changing this parameter
to invoke a software reset to set the new value.) Subnet Mask
options include:
X.Y.Z.C
– Class C address subnet. There can be 256 IP
addresses in this subnet.
X.Y.B.B
– Class B address subnet. There can be 65,536 IP
addresses in this subnet.
X.A.A.A
– Class A address subnet. There can be 16,772,216
IP addresses in this subnet.
Gateway (Address)
Enter the IP address of the router which acts as a gateway for the
thermostats to communicate to other devices in another subnet.
The thermostat uses this address when it needs to communicate
with the Proliphix Web Server for remote access. (You must
click
Submit
after changing this parameter to invoke a software
reset to set the new value.)
A.B.C.D
– Four field standard dot notation for IP address
designation.
