Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port is initially disabled. When Interface Status is changed to

Table 4-16.
Ethernet Port Options (1 of 2)
Interface Status
Available Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Enable
Determines whether the interface is available for use.
Enable – The interface is enabled.
Disable – The interface is disabled. No alarms or traps associated with the Ethernet port
will be generated, and any uses of the interface (such as Default IP Destination) are
reset to their default values.
IP Address
Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: Clear (000.000.000.000)
Specifies a unique IP address for accessing the unit via the Ethernet port.
000.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the IP address for the Ethernet port,
which you can view or edit. The first three digits may not be 127.
Clear – Clears the IP address for the Ethernet port and fills the address with zeros.
Subnet Mask
Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: 000.000.000.000
Specifies the subnet mask needed to access the unit.
Display Conditions – This option only appears when Port Use is set to Net Link.
000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255 – Shows the subnet mask for the Ethernet port,
which you can view or edit.
Clear – Clears the subnet mask for the Ethernet port and fills the address with zeros.
When the node subnet mask is all zeros, the IP protocol creates a default subnet mask
based upon the class of the IP address: Class A: 255.000.000.000,
Class B: 255.255.000.000, or Class C: 255.255.255.000.
