9.1 Basic information about Ethernet operation
For the configuration of the ADwin Ethernet interface the instructions,
described in the following chapters are necessary:
– MAC address
– Host-IP and Subnet Mask
– Default Gateway (optional)
– DHCP
– Host TCP/IP Port (optional)
– Password
– Timeout
9.1.1 MAC address
MAC addressEach Ethernet device has a worldwide individual MAC address (Media Access
Control Address). The MAC address (6 bytes) is allocated only once during the
manufacturing of the ADwin Ethernet interface and cannot be changed later.
This address is only necessary during installation of the program ADconfig for
precise identification. It is to be found on a label on the ADwin Ethernet inter-
face.
9.1.2 Host-IP and Subnet Mask
Host-IPEach TCP/IP host (the ADwin Ethernet interface is a TCP/IP host) is marked
by a unique logic IP address.
The IP address has the size of 4 bytes. Each IP address consists of 2 parts:
the network identification and the host identification. All TCP/IP devices in a
normal network which want to communicate with each other, must have the
