Change IP Address Check Box
Change IP Address check box is used to determine if the user wants to use the scanner to determine the applications Ethernet
address. If Change IP Address check box is selected then the scanner selected address becomes the new application address
(saved with application). This applies for Downloads, Uploads into an existing application and Change Path.
When Change IP Address check box is clear the Ethernet Address scanner range is the last scan range entered using the scanner's
"Stop Scan". If Change IP Address is selected, then the scanner's Ip Address Scan Range" will be loaded to select only the
applications IP address.
The Change IP Address check box must be selected to change the IP Address, Subnet and Gateway.
Subnet
This 32-bit parameter indicates the Subnet mask used for this node. The subnet mask is used to group devices that are connected
on the same physical connection. For a detailed description of Subnet mask refer to the SM-Ethernet User Guide.
Gateway
This 32-bit parameter indicates the default Gateway address for the SM-Ethernet module. When attempting to communicate with a
device on a different Subnet, the message must go through this gateway to reach it’s destination. For a detailed description of the
Gateway address refer to the SM-Ethernet User Guide.
Data Rate
The SM-Ethernet module can be set to automatically detect the data rate or be fixed at either 10 Mbs to 100 Mbs.
NOTE
This parameter should be left in the auto detect state.
Actual Data Rate
When online with the SM-Ethernet module, the actual data rate is displayed.
Disable Auto-crossover Check Box
Connecting a PC directly to a single SM-Ethernet module requires the use of a crossover cable. This allows the two devices to
communicate without the need to change any settings on the module, in PowerTools Pro, or use a hub.
To avoid the need for cross over cables it is possible to change the SM-Ethernet RJ-45 port to auto detect the cable type used by
selecting this check box, see the SM-Ethernet User Guide for more information.
Ethernet Diagnostic
When online with the module, this parameter gives an approximation of the number of packets processed, a zero indicates that SM-
Ethernet is ready to communicate but is not yet communicating.
If this parameter is a negative value this indicates that the module is initializing or there is a fault. See the SM-Ethernet User Guide
for more information.

Select this button when using the LCD Keypad Plus and the SM-Ethernet module this will turn .37 off.
Maintain elevated Ethernet comms priority (Leave x37 - On)
Select this button when using the standard LED Keypad is will leave x37 on.
