Setting Meaning
HOSTNAME Name under which the control logs onto the
network. If you use a host-name server, you
must enter the "Fully Qualified Host Name"
here. If you do not enter a name here, the
control uses the so-called null authentication.
DHCP DHCP = Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
In the drop-down menu, select YES, then the
control automatically obtains its network
address (IP address), the subnet mask, the
default router and any required broadcast
address from a DHCP server in the network.
The DHCP server identifies the control by its
host name. Your company network must be
specially prepared for this function. Contact
your network administrator.
IP ADDRESS Network address of the control: In each of the
four adjacent input fields you can enter three
digits of the IP address. To move to the next
field, press the ENT key. Your network
specialist can give you a network address for
the control.
SUBNET MASK Serves to differentiate between the network ID
and the host ID of the network: Your network
specialist assigns the subnet mask of the
control.
