Figure 5-23 Properties - Ethernet interface dialog, Parameters tab
The Parameters tab provides the following parameters:
● Set MAC address / use ISO protocol:
Since an Ethernet TIM does not use the ISO protocol but TCP/IP, this option remains
disabled.
● The IP address:
This has a default entry and cannot be changed here.
● The Subnet mask:
This has the default value 255.255.255.0 and can be changed / restricted.
● In the Gateway box, you have the option of specifying whether data transmission is via a
router.
If a router exists, the IP address of the router is entered in the Address box.
● The Subnet:
This lists all the networks of this type in the project. If the subscriber is not connected, the
row ----Not Networked---- is shown as selected in the subnet list.
– If the current subscriber is connected, the row of the relevant network is shown as
selected. You can set parameters for the current network with the Properties button.
– If no connection exists, a network connection can be set up using the New button.
– An existing connection can be deleted with the Delete button.
