read only

IP Address

The ArmorBlock module internet address (in network byte order). The internet address
must be specified to connect to the TCP/IP network.

0 (undefined)

read/write

Subnet Mask

The ArmorBlock module subnet mask (in network byte order). The Subnet Mask is used to
interpret IP addresses when the internet is divided into subnets. A Subnet Mask of all
zeros indicates that no subnet mask has been configured.
In this case, the controller assumes a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.

0 (undefined)

read/write

Gateway
Address

The address of a gateway (in network byte order) that provides connection to another IP
network. A Gateway Address of all zeros indicates that no gateway has been configured.

0 (undefined)

read/write

Host name

The Host Name is a unique name that identifies a device on a network. It must start with
a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior characters only letters, digits or
hyphens. Maximum length is 64 characters. It must have an even number of characters.

NULL
(undefined)

read/write

Default
Domain Name

The default domain name can have the following formats:
’a.b.c’, ’a.b’ or ’a’, where a, b, c must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and
have as interior characters only letters, digits or hyphens. Maximum length is 48
characters.

NULL

Primary Name
Server

This is the IP address of the computer acting as the local Ethernet network Primary
Domain Name System (DNS) server.

0 (undefined) read/write

Secondary
Name Server

This is the IP address of the computer acting as the local Ethernet network Secondary
Domain Name System (DNS) server.

0 (undefined)

read/write

DHCP Enable

When DHCP is enabled, a DHCP server automatically assigns network related parameters
to the ArmorBlock module when it logs into a TCP/IP network. There must be a DHCP
server on the network capable of allocating network addresses and configuring
parameters to newly attached device. When DHCP is disabled, the ArmorBlock module
uses the locally configured network related parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway Address, etc.).

Auto Negotiate
and Port
Setting

When Auto Negotiate is disabled (unchecked), the Ethernet speed/duplex is forced to
either 10 Mbps/Half-duplex, 10 Mbps/Full-duplex, 100 Mbps/Half-duplex, or 100
Mbps/Full-duplex, as selected in the Port Setting field.

When Auto Negotiate is enabled (checked), the ArmorBlock module will automatically
negotiate the link speed and duplex with the module it is connected to.
