Ethernet Mode: This setting selects the network speed that the Web600 can communicate at. If set to
“auto” the Web600 will determine and use the fastest speed that your network supports.
DHCP Status: Enabling this option means that the Web600 will automatically obtain an IP address on
the network using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Disabling this option means that you
will have to configure the network parameters manually.
MAC Address: This is the Media Access Control address which, in general terms, is the hardware
address for the Web600 Ethernet port. There is a unique address for all network devices.
IP/Host: This is the entry field for manually configuring the IP address of the Web600 on your network.
This address is provided by you or your network administrator. It is formatted as a standard dotted deci-
mal number.
Netmask: This is the subnet mask which distinguishes the portion of the IP address that is the network
ID from the portion that is the station ID.
Gateway: A TCP/IP network must have a gateway to communicate beyond the LAN identified by the
network ID. A gateway is a computer or router that is connected to two different networks and can
move TCP/IP data from one to the other. If your TCP/IP network has more than one LAN or if you are
connecting to the Internet, you will need to know the IP address of the gateway that will transfer TCP/
IP data in and out of your LAN. A single LAN that is not connected to other LANs does not require a
gateway setting.
DNS: The DNS server is used to translate site names into actual numeric network addresses. Enter the
IP address of the DNS server for your network.
Web Page Port Number: Allows selection of the port number that the webserver will use to host the
web page. Default is 80. If changed from the default you must include the port number in your browser
address (example: 192.168.1.250:85)
