IP Address
Setting Factory Default Necessity
E.g., 192.168.1.1
(IP addresses of the form x.x.x.0 and
x.x.x.255 are invalid.)
192.168.127.254 Required
An IP address is a number assigned to a network device, such as a computer, as a permanent
address on the network. Computers use the IP address to identify and talk to each other over the
network. Choose a proper IP address which is unique and valid in your network environment.
Netmask
Setting Factory Default Necessity
E.g., 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 Required
A subnet mask represents all the network hosts at one geographic location, in one building, or on
the same local area network. When a packet is sent out over the network, the module will use the
subnet mask to check whether the host specified in the packet is on a local network segment. If the
address is on the same network segment as the module, a connection is established directly from
the module. Otherwise, the connection is established through the default gateway.
Gateway
Setting Factory Default Necessity
E.g., 192.168.1.1 None Optional
A gateway acts as an entrance to another network. Usually, the computers that control traffic
within the network or at the local Internet service provider are gateway nodes. The module needs
to know the IP address of the default gateway computer in order to communicate with the hosts
outside the local network environment. For correct gateway IP address information, consult your
network administrator.
DNS server 1 / DNS sever 2
Setting Factory Default Necessity
E.g., 192.168.1.1
(IP addresses of the form x.x.x.0 and
x.x.x.255 are invalid.)
None Optional
Domain Name System (DNS) is how Internet domain names are identified and translated into IP
addresses. A domain name is an alphanumeric name, such as moxa.com, that it is usually easier to
rem
ember. A DNS server is a host that translates the text-based domain name into the
corresponding numeric IP address which is used to establish a TCP/IP connection. When the user
enters a website address, the computer asks a DNS server for the website’s IP address to connect
to the web server.
When a DNS server is specified, the module acts as DNS client and will allow domain names
instead of IP addresses to be used on the web console. The following web console fields support
the use of domain names: Time Sever IP Address, TCP Client-Destination IP Address, Mail Server,
SNMP Trap IP Address, and IP Location Server. Two DNS servers may be specified, DNS server
1 and DNS server 2. DNS server 2 is included for use when DNS sever 1 is unavailable.
