Configuration Mode Chapter 2
Change Ethernet Settings
You can establish an Ethernet connection between the connected PanelView
Component terminal and computer using the Ethernet port or the host USB
port on the terminal.
For the Ethernet port, IP addresses can be set dynamically by the network if
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled. If DHCP is
disabled, the IP addresses must be entered manually.
IMPORTANT If a terminal is set for DHCP and is not on a network or is on a
network that does not have a DHCP server (or the server is not
available), it will automatically assign itself an Automatic Private
IP Address (or auto IP address). The auto IP address will be in the
range of 169.254.0.0…169.254.255.255.
The terminal makes sure the auto IP address is unique from any
other auto IP address of other devices on the network. The
terminal can now communicate with other devices on the network
that have IP addresses in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range (and a subnet
mask of 255.255.0.0).
IMPORTANT For the USB port, use the default IP address that is set when the
terminal is connected to the computer. This address is
169.254.254.2. It is not recommended to change this setting.

Parameter Description
MAC ID Read-only field that defines the MAC ID of
the PanelView Component terminal. Each
Ethernet device has a unique MAC ID.
Network Device Name Unique name that identifies the terminal on
the network.
IP Address Unique address that identifies the terminal
on the Ethernet network.
The format of the IP address is
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example, 10.90.95.30
The range of values for the first set of
decimal numbers is 1…255 unless all fields
are set to 000. The range of values for the
last three sets of decimal numbers if
0…255.
Subnet Mask Address that must be identical to the server
subnet mask. The subnet mask is formatted
like the IP address.
Default Gateway Optional address that is formatted like the
IP address.
