9.4.2 Station Parameters
This dialog box shows details of the local station.
Some values cannot be changed. The dialog box displays the determined information.
Station Name
You can freely select a name for the device. This name will be displayed when you run a station scan in
the Select a Station in Your Network dialog box.
Station Password
If this dialog has been opened from the station search, then the input field for the password input
appears. If a password has been assigned to the station, then this password needs to be entered here. In
order to change the ip-address , etc. Otherwise this field must remain empty.
MAC Address
The MAC address of the network adapter. Every station in the Ethernet network has a unique Ethernet
address. This address can be changed. To restore the original setting after a change to the MAC address,
select Station – Set Original MAC Addresses.
Use DHCP
Here you can enable automatic configuration via a DHCP server. This check box should only be selected if
a DHCP server exists in the local network.
IP Address
This entry specifies the station's address when the TCP/IP protocol is used, see IP Addresses.
Subnet Mask
This parameter determines which station requests to the active network are allowed to pass. Addresses in
which the masked parts differ are transmitted to the routers.
Domain Name
The domain name is used for symbolic requests in which no domain has been explicitly specified. This is
usually the case with names that have no dot.
DNS Addresses
These addresses specify the servers that resolve the symbolic Internet names to the IP number addresses
in the network.
Router Addresses
Routers are used if the station should also communicate with stations located outside its own network.
The IP-Address of the router must be within the own local network, because the router connects this local
network with other networks or the internet.
We distinguish between dedicated routers and the default gateway:
For dedicated routers the IP-address of the router within the local network, the net-address and subnet
mask of the destination network needs to be provided.
For the standard gateway only the IP-address needs to be provided. In the usual case, there should be
only one default gateway.
Routing examples
Assume that the device has the following configuration:
IPv4 Address of the 1st interface: 10.123.45.78
Subnet mask of the 1st interface: 255.0.0.0
Default gateway of the 1st interface: 10.0.0.1
IPv4 Address of the 2nd interface: 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask of the 2nd interface: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway of the 2nd interface: not set
Dedicated route at the 2nd interface: Address of the router: 192.168.1.1, net: 192.168.0.0, subnet mask:
255.255.0.0
And the device should reach the following destination addresses over IPv4: ntp.pool.org within the
internet, 10.0.0.2, 192.168.1.3 und 192.168.47.11.
These destination could be reached as follows:
