Appendix C. NL240 Settings

IP Address

The IP address uniquely identifies this node on an internet. If DHCP is

enabled, this is the IP address obtained from the DHCP server. If DHCP is

disabled, a static IP address must be obtained from your network administrator

for use with this device. (It is recommended to configure a static IP address.)

In bridge mode, this setting is obtained from the datalogger and

cannot be edited here. It must be edited in the datalogger settings.

If the setting has been successfully obtained from the datalogger,

this setting will show “OK”; otherwise, it will show “0.0.0.0”.

Subnet Mask

The Subnet Mask is used to select that portion of the IP address which

identifies the network. It is used to facilitate routing and should be obtained

from the network administrator along with the IP address. If DHCP is enabled,

this is the Subnet Mask obtained from the DCHP server.

In bridge mode, this setting is obtained from the datalogger and

cannot be edited here. It must be edited in the datalogger settings.

If the setting has been successfully obtained from the datalogger,

this setting will show “OK”; otherwise, it will show “0.0.0.0”.

Default Gateway

Datagrams being sent to an unknown network are routed via the Default

Gateway. This entry specifies the Internet address of the Default Gateway. If

no Default Gateway exists, set this entry to “0.0.0.0”. If DHCP is enabled, this

is the Default Gateway obtained from the DCHP server.

In bridge mode, this setting is obtained from the datalogger and

cannot be edited here. It must be edited in the datalogger settings.

If the setting has been successfully obtained from the datalogger,

this setting will show “OK”; otherwise, it will show “0.0.0.0”.

Name Servers

This setting specifies the addresses of up to three domain name servers that the

device can use to resolve domain names to IP addresses. Note that if DHCP is

used to resolve IP information, DNS addresses obtained via DHCP will

override this list.

IP Info

Reports the IP address, network mask, and default gateway of the network

interface. If DHCP is used, this setting will report the values configured by the

DHCP server.
