Network Setup
This menu item allows you to configure the Ethernet communications channel.
The following settings can be configured in this option:
Network settings can be configured automatically with BootP or manually
through the front panel. (You can also configure network settings via Designer or
ION Setup software — see “Using ION Software” on page 87 of this manual for
more information.)
Configuring Network Settings with BootP
The BootP network setting is enabled by default. When a BootP server is set up
with the correct information, the network settings (IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway, and SMTP Mail Server IP Address) automatically configure.
Ask your Network Administrator whether a BootP server has been set up on your
network. If it has, and your Network Administrator has allocated the required
network settings on the BootP server, then all of the network settings (that your
facility requires) automatically appear on the Network Setup screen.
