Network Settings
The Network Settings screen as seen in Figure 6-61 has
ve elements:
1. DHCP - These initials stand for Dynamic Host Congu-
ration Protocol. The protocol was established for assigning
dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network.
DHCP is enabled by default, this ensures no network
address contention will happen in the event that the
generator is plugged into a network before the user assigns
a static address. Most commonly DHCP is disabled and
a statically assigned IP addresses are used in industrial
networks.
When DHCP is enabled, the static IP address/subnet mask
setting is ignored. You may need to contact your network
administrator if you do not know whether to enable or
disable DHCP.
2. IP ADDRESS - This Internet Protocol address is a
number unique to a piece of equipment acting as an
identier when the equipment is connected to a network.
This eld is editable when DHCP is disabled.
You may need to contact your network administrator if
you do not know what address to use.
3. SUBNET MASK - denes the subset of the
network address which applies to the locally dened
subnetwork. Generally, this setting must match other
entities on the network. This eld is editable when DHCP
is disabled.
You may need to contact your network administrator if
you do not know what mask to use.
4. EIP CONN: - Indicates the IP address of the
controlling Ethernet/IP connection.
5. LINK: - Indicates the state of the Ethernet link. (up/
down (plugged in or not), 10/100 Mbps, half/full duplex)
