8.3 Ethernet Port
The first setting of the Ethernet configuration should be performed via the serial port!
8.3.1 Administrator
By default no admin account is defined, the ADMIN address is 0.0.0.0. All clients have got full
access to the unit and can execute commands!
An administrator owns full access to the unit, therefore you should select an authorized IP-address,
better a MAC-address or best both (IP-address and MAC-address) with the command
*ADMIN SET ADDRESS
, so that nobody else but only the desired computer (or client) has full
access!
With *
ADMIN SET ADDRESS 192.168.100.25
only the computer with this address has admi-
nistrative access (ADMIN commands) to the unit.
For this address is not the "correct" computer for certain, you can set a MAC-address, too. A MAC-
address is explicit assigned to a computer or network adaptor.
*ADMIN SET ADDRESS 00-11-22-33-44-55 sets the MAC-address and only from this network
adaptor administrative commands will be accepted. To increase safety, both, IP-address and
MAC-address can be set simultanely, i.e.:
*ADMIN SET ADDRESS 00-11-22-33-44-55 192.168.100.25
sets the network adaptor with MAC-address 00-11-22-33-44-55 and with the IP-address
192.168.100.25 as ADMIN.
It doesn't matter if first the MAC-address or the IP-address is inserted.
The IP- or MAC-address of a computer under Windows can be requested in the command prompt
with the command IPCONFIG /all.
You may set more than one ADMIN address by using the command like:
*ADMIN SET ADDRESS 00-11-22-x
Now all MAC-addresses starting with 00-11-22 are ADMINs.
The same is possible with IP-addresses:
*ADMIN SET ADDRESS 192.168.x
or the same:
*ADMIN SET ADDRESS 192.168.0.0/16
(/16 set the number of bits to be compared, in this case 192.168)
With:
*ADMIN SET ADDRESS 0.0.0.0/0
each client is ADMIN.
You should avoid to allow many Admins for this could lead to collisions within the network if more
than one Admin are accessing the unit at the same time!
