Chapter 2 Configuration Mode
Change Ethernet Settings
You can establish an Ethernet connection between the connected
PanelView Component terminal and computer using the Ethernet port
or the host USB port on the terminal.
For the Ethernet port, IP addresses can be set dynamically by the
network if Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled. If
DHCP is disabled, the IP addresses must be entered manually.
IMPORTANT
If a terminal is set for DHCP and is not on a network or is on a
network that does not have a DHCP server (or the server is not
available), it will automatically assign itself an Automatic
Private IP Address (or auto IP address). The auto IP address will
be in the range of 169.254.0.0 through 169.254.255.255.
The terminal makes sure the auto IP address is unique from any
other auto IP address of other devices on the network. The
terminal can now communicate with other devices on the
network that have IP addresses in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range
(and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0).
IMPORTANT
For the USB port, use the default IP address that is set when
the terminal is connected to the computer. This address is
169.254.254.2. It is not recommended to change this setting.

Parameter Description
MAC ID Read-only field that defines the MAC ID of
the PanelView Component terminal. Each
Ethernet device has a unique MAC ID.
Network Device Name Unique name that identifies the terminal on
the network.
IP Address Unique address that identifies the terminal
on the Ethernet network.
The format of the IP address is
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example, 10.90.95.30
The range of values for the first set of
decimal numbers is 1…255 unless all fields
are set to 000. The range of values for the
last three sets of decimal numbers if
0…255.
Subnet Mask Address that must be identical to the server
subnet mask. The subnet mask is formatted
