11.3.2 Setup
There are several setup parameters for the Ethernet network as described below:
Host Name
Device name on the network. Default is “ “
IP Address
The numeric code that identifies all computers that are connected to the internet.
Default is “92.168.16.250”
Local Port
Ethernet connection point of the device. Default is “10001”
Gateway
Network point that acts as an entrance to other networks. Default is “192.168.16.254”
Subnet Mask
Defines a range of IP addresses in a network. Default is “255.255.255.0”
Primary DNS
Primary DNS server IP address
Secondary DNS
Secondary DNS server IP address
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides dynamically allocated IP
addresses to computers on a network, if it is enabled.
Remote
Connection
Automatic connection to any device on the network
Remote IP
IP address of the PC or device which should be connected automatically
Remote Port
Ethernet connection point of the PC or device which should be connected
automatically
Important hint:
During the setup the Ethernet output (weight value and status bits) will not be updated.
