DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is enabled by default and allows the BE1-11g to send a
broadcast request for configuration information. The DHCP server receives the request and responds with
configuration information. Use one of the following methods to locate the Active IP address of the BE1-
11g:
•
Use the Device Discovery function on the BE1-11 Connection screen in BESTCOMSPlus.
•
Navigate to Settings > Communication > Ethernet on the front panel of the BE1-11g.
If DHCP is not being used, use BESTCOMSPlus to configure the Ethernet port as described in the
following paragraphs.
Configurable Ethernet options include:
IP Address:
Internet Protocol Address to be used by the BE1-11g.
Default Gateway:
Default host to send data destined for a host not on the network
subnet.
Subnet Mask:
Mask used to determine the range of the current network subnet.
Use DHCP:
When this box is checked, the IP Address, Default Gateway, and
Subnet Mask are automatically configured via DHCP. This can
be used only if the Ethernet network has a properly configured
DHCP server running. The BE1-11g does not act as a DHCP
server.
6.
Obtain the values for these options from the site administrator if the BE1-11g is intended to share the
network with other devices.
7.
If the BE1-11g is operating on an isolated network, the IP address can be chosen from one of the
following ranges as listed in IETF publication RFC 1918, Address Allocation for Private Networks.
•
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
•
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
•
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
If the BE1-11g is operating on an isolated network, the Subnet Mask can be left at 0.0.0.0 and the
Default Gateway can be chosen as any valid IP address from the same range as the BE1-11g IP
address.
