IP Addresses in FINS Communications

Section 5-2

Pairing IP Addresses with
FINS Node Addresses at
Local Nodes

A particular IP address is allocated to each communications node, including
Ethernet Units. The IP address must be paired with the FINS node address (1
to 254) by one of the following methods.

Automatic Generation Method (Dynamic/Static)

Set the relation between the IP address and the FINS node address for the
Ethernet Unit according to the following equation. If the setting does not con-
form to this equation, a setting error will be generated and the ERH indicator
will flash.

FINS node address = IP address host number

IP Address Table Method and Combined Method

With these methods, the IP address and the FINS node address for the Ether-
net Unit have no particular relationship. Set both the FINS node address and
the IP address so that they are not duplicated in the network.

Sending Ethernet Unit
FINS Messages

When the Ethernet Unit sends a FINS message, it must determine the remote
node's IP address, UDP port number, and TCP port number. The relation-
ships between all addresses, such as remote FINS node addresses and IP
addresses, are managed by an internal table at the Ethernet Unit.

When the Ethernet Unit is turned ON or restarted, the internal table is gener-
ated automatically from the various settings that have been made. Depending
on the setting method used, data such as remote IP addresses are changed
dynamically. (Dynamic changes can be prohibited.)

The remote node's IP address, UDP/TCP
method, UDP port number, and TCP port
number are calculated from the node
number in the FINS message, and an
Ethernet frame is generated.
