Interfaces
If you click Configurator → Utilities → System → Network → Interfaces, the
dialog box will open displaying the Ethernet interface.
at the end of the interface
line to open its traffic flowchart. This displays a real-time graph
of the traffic flow passing through the interface (both In and Out). Clicking the interface in the first dialog will open the configuration window. Set up the parameters as follows:
Protocol: This displays the specific protocol for addressing. The options are:
-
Static IP: This displays the static IP address, which is 192.168.0.10 by default.
-
DHCP: This option uses the DHCP protocol to get IP configuration.
Current IP: This field shows
the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. It only appears if an
IP address has been assigned, otherwise it remains hidden.
Use DHCP NTP Servers: If
the DHCP interface protocol is set, the controller will ignore NTP
servers. However, you can enable the controller to accept NTP servers
from the DHCP server.
IP address: The default
IP address is 192.168.0.10.
Network mask: The default
network mask is 255.255.255.0 (/24).
Gateway IP: This field is
for the Gateway IP address.
IPv6: If IPv6 processing
is enabled, the controller will generate an IPv6 address/prefix (a
128-bit alphanumeric value). You can also manually enter the address,
giving the controller two IPv6 addresses.
IPv6 gateway: This is optional
and can be used if you want your controller to have an Internet connection.
Please note, the IPv6 feature is not supported for HW1.xx.
Duplicate IP messages: This
is the number of checks for duplicate IP addresses that are performed
before the controller sets its IP address.
DNS server 1: This field
is for the primary DNS server IP address.
DNS server 2: This field
is for the secondary DNS server IP address.
MTU: This stands for Maximum
Transmission Unit, which is the largest packet size that can be passed
in the communication protocol. The default is 1500.
After making changes, click the Apply Changes icon in the top-right corner for the modifications to take effect. The controller will automatically reboot after applying the changes.
