5.6. Network Parameters
In order to effectively communicate with the PLS via network,
the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address should be
defined using the Network Parameters Menu. Note that although
the PLS features a default IP Address (which allows
communication with the unit before the network interface is
completely configured), it is recommended to use the Network
Parameters Menu to select more appropriate parameters when
installing the PLS in a working network environment.
If desired, the PLS Network Parameters Menu also allows you to
implement IP Security features, which can restrict network
access based on the user's IP address as described in
Section 5.6.1.
Note that settings for these network parameters will depend on
the configuration of your individual network Please contact your
network administrator for appropriate settings, and then assign
parameters as described in this section.
To access the Network Parameters Menu (Figure 5.4), type /N
and press [Enter]. Note that this menu is not available in User
Mode. The following options are available:
