Ethernet
The Ethernet screen is used for any wired IP connections that are made through either one of the con-
troller’s
Ethernet Switch Pri
(mary) connector or
Ethernet Switch Sec
(ondary) connector. See Network
Connections for ECY Series Controllers. The Wired IP parameters can be auto-configured when the con-
nected network has a working DHCP server. The alternative is to manually configure the controller’s IP
parameters.

DHCP
If the controller is connected to a
network that has an active DHCP
server, enabling this option will
automatically configure the Wired IP
connection parameters. The Wired IP
parameters shown below are read only
(presented for information purposes
only).
If you want to manually configure the controller’s network settings
(to have a fixed IP address for example) or in the case where the
network does not have a DHCP server, disable this option. In this
case, you must set the Wired IP connection parameters shown
below to establish network connectivity.
See also DHCP Versus Manual Network Settings.

DHCP server.
Set the connected network’s subnetwork mask. See About the
