1. IP address settings | IP address:
Every controller or computer within a Ethernet network must be assigned a unique identifier called an IP address. The IP address consists of four numbers separated by periods. Each number of the IP address must have a value between 0 and 225; however, the first number must be less than 224 and the last number cannot be 0. The controller ships with a default IP address of 192.168.0.1.
Subnet mask:
A bit mask (set of flags) that specifies which bits of the IP address specify a particular IP network or a host (computer or router) within a sub network. An IP address of 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 specifies host 1 on subnet 192.168.0.0. The subnet mask determines the maximum number of hosts on a sub network.
IP Gateway:
The address of the gateway is used to reach a destination outside of the local network. For example, the gateway address is typically the IP address of a router that provides the interface to the Internet. This address only needs to be set if you intend to share the controllers interface outside your local network. |
