Configure Terminal Settings Chapter 3
Set the Ethernet Address of the Terminal
Some networks automatically assign an IP address to Ethernet devices if
dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) is enabled. If DHCP is
disabled, you can manually enter an IP address.
To view or enter an IP address for your terminal, follow these steps.
1. Press Terminal Settings, then choose Networks and
Communications>Network Connections>Network Adapters.
2. To view or modify the IP address, press IP Address.
3. To enable or disable DHCP assignment of addresses, press Use DHCP.
• If DHCP is enabled or set to Yes, IP addresses are automatically
assigned to newly attached devices on the network.
• If DHCP is disabled or set to No, you can manually enter the IP
address. Press IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway to enter IP
formatted addresses.
4. Press OK when done.
If prompted, reset the device from the FactoryTalk View ME Station
dialog box.
5. Press Close.
TIP • IP Address – The format of the IP address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; for
example, 192.168.124.96. The first set of decimal numbers is in the
range 1…255; the last three sets are in the range 0…255. The default
is 000.000.000.000.
• Subnet Mask – Address must be identical to the server subnet mask.
• Gateway – optional address.
• MAC ID – read-only field.
