IP Address This is the location of this Welding Power Source on the computer network. Any
device on your network that wants to communicate with the Welding Power
Source must use the power source’s address to make the connection.
Subnet mask This number is assigned by your local IT department. A subnet is a section of a
computer network. Subnets are used to divide up large networks into small
sections for ease of management, increased performance and increased security.
Default gateway This is the IP address of a router or other device that allows communication with
addresses that are outside your local area network.
MAC address This field displays the current media access control (MAC) ID of the module
selected in the drop-down at the top of the window.
TCP/IP Setup Sub-Tab
On the TCP/IP setup tab, you can configure the IP address of the power source, changing from the
current address to a new IP. Generally, you may need to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) to find an open IP address for initial configuration, for use prior to system integration, or for
mobile or remote welding equipment. Generally, though, you need to use a static IPs, subnets and
gateway addresses assigned by your IT department for most fixed production equipment. A static IP is
required for Production Monitoring™ and CheckPoint™.
STOP | Assigning an incorrect IP address to the Welding Power
Source may cause it to be unreachable on the network.
