4.1 IT Network Configuration

The IT Network Configuration view provides the means to configure the various network settings of the IT

Ethernet interface.

MAC

MAC address of the Ethernet interface (read only)

Host

Host name used for registration by the DHCP server

Depending on the configuration of your local DHCP and DNS servers it is possible to reach the device by this

host name in your network.

IPv4 Address

IPv4 address of the Ethernet interface

If DHCP is disabled, a static IP address can be assigned.

Subnet Mask

Network mask of the IPv4 address in decimal dotted notation, e.g. 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway

Default router address to be used in the common network

Obtain an IP Address from a DHCP Server

If enabled, the device should obtain network settings by DHCP for the IT Ethernet interface. If disabled,

static settings are used (see above).

By default network setting by the DHCP server is enabled.

DNS Address

IP address of the Domain Name Server to be used by the dataFEED Gateway

This setting might be overwritten by the DHCP server.

IPv6

(Read-only) IPv6 address(es) of the IT Ethernet interface, as assigned by IPv6 autoconf.

The IPv6 information is only shown, if the used network is configured to use IPv6. Up to 16 IPv6 addresses

can be assigned to the IT Ethernet interface.

Note

If you re-configure the IP settings of the Ethernet interface used for configuration, you need to re-

connect afterwards using the new configured IP address.
