5. Configure the Ethernet Module parameters as follows:
It has two parts 1. Register Usage and 2. Protocol Support
Register Usage:
i. IP Address: Enter the static IP Address for the Ethernet Module being configured.
Note: IP Addresses are entered as four numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255. These
four numbers are called octets and they are always separated by decimal points.
ii. Net Mask: Enter the Net Mask (sometimes called Subnet Mask) being used by all
nodes on the local network. Typical local networks use Class C IP Addresses, in
which case the low octet (rightmost number) is used to uniquely identify each node
on the local network. In this case, the default Net Mask value of 255.255.255.0
should be used.
iii.
Gateway: Enter the IP Address of a Gateway Server on the local network that allows
for communication outside of the local network. To prevent the Ethernet Module from
communicating outside the local network, set the Default Gateway IP Address to
0.0.0.0 (the default setting).
