LAN Communication
To enable LAN communication, a LAN or WLAN interface must be
physically connected to the network, and the networking settings must be
suitable for your network. For a description of interfaces, see sections
LAN Interface on page 61 and WLAN Interface on page 62.
The LAN and WLAN interfaces both operate by accessing the serial
interface (User Port) of the transmitter. All commands and protocols that
are available using the serial interface are available through the LAN and
WLAN interfaces; refer to section List of Serial Commands on page 94.
For instructions on how to connect using a terminal program, see section
Terminal Program Settings on page 91.
IP Configuration
The IP settings of the LAN and WLAN interfaces are described in Table
18. The current settings can be viewed on the serial line or using the
device information display; see section Information Display on page 72.
Table 18 IP Settings for the LAN and WLAN Interfaces
Parameter Description
Automatic configuration
(DHCP) If enabled, the transmitter will retrieve its network
settings (including the IP Address) from a server
in the network. If disabled, static network settings
are used instead.
Web configuration If enabled, the settings of the interface can be
changed using a web browser. The configuration
page can be accessed by browsing to the IP
address of the transmitter.
IP Address The four part network ID of the transmitter. Must
be set manually if automatic configuration is not
used.
Example value: 192.168.0.222
Netmask Used together with the IP address to determine
which network the transmitter is a part of. Must be
set manually if automatic configuration is not
used.
A common netmask is 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP address of the server that enables the
transmitter to access other networks. Must be set
manually if automatic configuration is not used.
Example value: 192.168.0.1
MAC The MAC address is the unique hardware address
of the LAN or WLAN interface. Cannot be
changed.
