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 three
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.
