3 Information For Advanced Users
3.1 Manual IP Configuration via the Terminal
To change the IP configuration of the Ethernet device interface, we can use the commands ‘ip’,
‘netmask’, ‘gateway’ and ‘dhcp’, each followed by a blank and the new entry. For example:
A:\>
A:\>ip 192.168.200.1
A:\>netmask 255.255.255.0
A:\>dhcp 0
A:\>ipeth
A:\>
In this example, we defined an IP address, a network mask and the DHCP was disabled. Please note
that the gateway is not needed at this stage. When an application or service communicates to another
network device that can only be reached via a specific ‘router’, you need to enter the address of the
router as the ‘gateway’.
The IP configuration information is now stored in the file ‘CHIP.INI' on the flash disk. Now either cycle
the power on the DK40/DK50 or use the ‘ipeth’ command to apply the new IP configuration.
