8.1 Boot process
User Name This user must be familiar with his password in the network so
that the shared drives and folders can be used.
Your Network administrator will create a user name and a
password for you so that you can access the network
resources.
Password
E-Mail Input an e-mail address (Configure). The messages of the
control unit are sent to this address, when the "Enable" check
box is activated.
IP Address Each machine (computer) should have a unique IP address
within a network. The network protocol TCP/IP communicates
with the individual machines by this IP address. The division
of the network is done in the so-called network classes. An
individual Network-address is assigned to each machine
automatically by the program and it is displayed here.
Subnet Mask This field is automatically filled up by the program with a value
for the shared network Class B.
Use DHCP The DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enables
with the help of a corresponding server the dynamic allocation
of an IP address and the further configuration parameters to
the computers (machines) in a network.
MAC Address Media Access Control Address.
Name Name of the network board.
Use DNS Domain Name Services via a DNS Server.
Enter the name of the IP address of the server, if necessary.
Use WINS Windows Internet Name Services.
Enter the name of the IP address of the server, if necessary.
Gateway A Gateway enables the connection between the shared
networks.
Enter the IP-Address of the active component, if necessary.
Settings in the "Network Configuration" window, especially
the settings for External LAN, are to be done by a Network
Administrator. The settings for Internal LAN serve
developers purposes only and may not be altered.
The Ethernet IP addresses 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255 are
reserved for Stoll knitting machines and may not be used in
the company network.
The reason for this: The cards 963 (IPC) and 966 (Power
CPU) in the knitting machine use these IP addresses to
communicate with each other. But if both these addresses
are used in the company network, the cards cannot work
correctly with each other anymore and the machine does not
function any longer.
