Basic Configuration
5.9.2. Network Parameters
In the Text Interface, these parameters are accessed via the main Network Configuration
menu, which can be activated by typing /N (for IPv4 parameters) or /N6 (for IPv6
parameters) and then pressing [Enter]. In the Web Browser Interface, these parameters
are found by placing the cursor over the "Network Configuration" link on the left hand
side of the screen, and then clicking on the "Network Parameters" link in the resulting
fly-out menu.

• IPAddress: (Defaults: IPv4 = 192.168.168.168; IPv6= undefined)
• SubnetMask: (Defaults: IPv4 = 255.255.255.0; IPv6 = undefined)
• GatewayAddress: (Default = undefined)
• DHCP: Enables/Disables Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When enabled,
the TSM/RSM will perform a DHCP request. Note that in the Text Interface, the MAC
address for the TSM/RSM is listed on the Network Status Screen. (Default = Off)

• Negotiation: (Text Interface Only) This parameter can be used to solve
synchronization problems when the TSM/RSM unit negotiates communication
parameters with another device. (Default = Auto)

(e.g.,"100/Full.)
• Fallback(DualEthernetUnitsOnly): Enables/disables Ethernet fallback
capabilities. When enabled, the TSM/RSM will automatically switch to the other
Ethernet port whenever the unit detects that a network connection cannot be
established via the Ethernet port that is currently in use. Note that when the
Fallback feature is enabled, the same IP Address will be assigned to both Ethernet
Port 0 and Ethernet Port 1. (Default = Off)
