“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” Window
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a set of protocols that
defines how to transfer data between two computers. TCP monitors and ensures
correct transfer of data. IP receives the data from TCP, breaks it up into packets, and
ships it off to a network. The IP address is a unique number consisting of four parts
separated by dots, e.g., 165.113.245.2.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol for assigning dynamic
IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a
different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the IP
address of the device can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports
a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps
track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. New
computers can be added to a network without manually assigning each one a unique
IP address.
NOTE: When configuring an adapter, only one item can be modified at a time. For
example, to modify an IP address and also the wireless network, touch Configure
and modify the IP address, then touch OK (you must return to the “Ethernet Setup”
window). Touch Configure again, modify the wireless network, then touch OK. The
order in which modifications are performed does not matter.
IP Table
Touch IP Table on the setup menu to open the “IP Table Setup” window.
Edit, remove or enter a control system’s IP address in the IP table to enable
communication between the touch screen and a control system. The touch screen can
communicate with multiple control systems.
