7.1.2 IP C ONFIGURATION
The IP configuration settings define the behaviour of the HOST interface. The IP address
may be assigned statically or automatically.

If this option is selected, it is possible to set a static IP address. Static IP allocation
requires entering the IP address and subnet mask.
Default values are:
IP address:
192.168.0.254
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP:
The DHCP function requests an IP address from a DHCP server and subsequently allocates
IP addresses automatically.
DHCP fallback:
This option allows for automatic IP address allocation. Should there be an error with the
automatic allocation, the IP allocation automatically switches to the static setting.

If this option is activated, it is possible to establish redundant network connections.
Standard Gateway:
The IP address entered as standard gateway address is used to establish a connection to
an address located outside of the device’s own IP subnet (i.e. outside 192.168.0.254 in the
example given previously). However, the standard gateway itself needs to be inside the
