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 
hostname. 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 3 digits 
of the IP address. With the ENT key you can 
jump into the next field. Your network specialist 
can give you a network address for the control.
SUBNET MASK
Serves to distinguish the network ID and the 
host ID of the network: Your network specialist 
assigns the subnet mask of the control.
BROADCAST
The broadcast address of the control is needed 
only if it is different from the standard setting. 
The standard setting is formed from the net and 
host ID, in which all bits are set to 1.
ROUTER
Network address of default router: This entry is 
required only if your network consists of several 
subnetworks interconnected by routers.
The entered network configuration does not become 
effective until the control is rebooted. After the network 
configuration is concluded with the OK button or soft key, 
the control asks for confirmation and reboots.
