Simply choose the Obtain an IP address automatically option if you want the Welding Power Source to
assign the IP address automatically using a dynamic IP address.
STOP | If you choose this option, the Welding Power Source
obtains a different IP address every time it connects
to a network.
If you want to assign a specific address to this Welding Power Source, choose the Use the following IP
address option and enter the appropriate information. (Table 7.3 on page 7.14 explains these fields in
more detail.)
Once you have configured the network settings, click the Apply settings button and cycle the power to
the Welding Power Source (off then back on) in order for the new settings to take effect.
NOTE | If you have modified the Welding Power Source’s IP address
and would like to modify more settings, you will need to
connect to the Welding Power Source using the new
address. (See page 4.1 for connecting to a power source.)
TIP | If you cannot connect to the Welding Power Source, refer to
Appendix A for troubleshooting options.
Network Security Sub-Tab
The Network Security tab allows the configuration of a range of IP addresses that are allowed to
connect to the Welding Power Source, as well as another range of addresses that are allowed to
modify parameters on the Welding Power Source (the latter range is a subset of the first). This
provides some control over the components and modules (e.g., controllers, wire feeders, user
interfaces) that can connect to this Welding Power Source.
Figure 7.14 Network Security Tab
For each of the two ranges, the user can select either all addresses, addresses only within the
machine’s subnet, or a custom range of addresses.
