4.2.3 Port Configuration
This menu allows configuring the device’s communications ports. For each communication
port, which is available on the device and shown on the label (e.g., Port 1, Port 2,
Ethernet), a corresponding configuration tab is provided by the Web UI. An example is
shown in Figure 15. Each port tab contains a selection of available communication
protocols. By selecting a checkbox or radio button the various protocols can be enabled or
disabled on the communication port. Some ports allow exclusive protocol activation only,
other ports (e.g., the Ethernet port) allow multiple protocols bound to that port.
Figure 15: Port Configuration Page.
When selecting a protocol on a communication port, the protocol’s communication
parameters are displayed in a box on the right-hand side. To save the settings of the
currently opened protocol, click the Save Settings button. Pressing Get Settings retrieves
the current settings from the device.
4.2.4 IP Configuration
The TCP/IP configuration is done under the Ethernet port tab as shown in Figure 16. The
mandatory IP settings, which are needed to operate the device, are marked with a red
asterisk (IP address, netmask, gateway). The Enable DHCP checkbox switches between
manual entry of the IP address, netmask, and gateway address, and automatic configuration
from a DHCP server.
Important! The default IP address 192.168.1.254 is only set for configuration access. It must be
changed in order to make the device functional.
