Connection Status icon: This visual display of the connection status allows the user to have a current

update of the TPI/4’s connection status regardless of what page is currently

active.

• A Lock only appears on the icon if the TPI/4 has established a connection with

a currently secured target Master (requiring a username and password).

IP Settings: Sets the IP communication values for the NXP-TPI/4 and contains:

• Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP

network.

IP Address Sets the IP Address assigned to the TPI/4.

Subnet Mask Sets a subnetwork address to the TPI/4.

• Subnetwork mask is the technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages

into a particular network segment (Subnet).

Gateway Sets a gateway value to the TPI/4.

different types of networks/applications or acts as a go-between two or more

networks that use the same protocols.
