IP Gateways
The Engineering Config - IP Gateway menu allows the user to add a route to a destination
network through a local IP Gateway.
Touch the IP Address of Gateway attacher and set the four New Gateway parts of the address
(A) (e.g. 172.28.1.6). Note. The network part of this address must exactly match the network
part of the panel’s IP address.
Next press the IP address of Destination Network attacher and set the four parts of the
destination network address (e.g. 172.23.0.0) and set the number of bits of the Netmask for the
destination network.
Finally, press Add Gateway to add the new gateway to the list at the top of the menu. This has
now told the panel how to send a message onto network 2, but not where it should go when it
gets there.
To check that the gateway is attached to the network and is responding, press the {Ping
Gateway} action button. The box below the button should show the ping round-trip time for a
few seconds followed by:
“Good” “Fair” may give occasional “Lumpy” controls
“Poor” may have excessive lumpy controls and cause a loss of comms, “Failed” no link at all.
Press {Remove Gateway} then make the required changes to the five parameters, then press
{Add Gateway} to put the modified entry back into the list.
Pressing either of the {Edit} for the Gateway or destination IP addresses will display a number
entry pad. Enter the required IP address and the touch the {Apply} button.
