Figure 11. Network, IP Settings Page
IP Settings
The IP Settings section allows you to select between dynamic or static IP
addressing. The PES1A/PESV1A’s default setting is Obtain an IP address
automatically using DHCP, or dynamic IP addressing.
When the PES1A/PESV1A is first connected it will try to obtain an IP address
automatically. If it fails, it will assign an IP address to itself using the Automatic
Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. You can re-configure the
PES1A/PESV1A for static IP address by selecting Use the following IP
address and assign the IP address yourself.
If Use the following IP address: is selected, you are choosing static IP
addressing. When this option is selected the IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Default Gateway text boxes become available. You must determine the
appropriate parameters and enter them yourself. (If you do not know what to
enter ask your network administrator for assistance.)
To implement any changes in this section, click Apply. A page will appear
asking you to Reboot the PES1A/PESV1A so that the changes can take
effect.
Network Services Settings
The Network Services Settings section allows you to enable or disable
several common network services and configure their associated ports.
Typically you will not have to change these settings.

Configuring the Serial Port
The Serial Port Configuration page displays information about the serial
port on your PES1A/PESV1A, including its description, its profile (operating
mode) and serial settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits). You will
have to configure these parameters to set up your system for the type of
operation required and to match the parameters of the serial device to which
the PES1A/PESV1A is connected.
To open the Serial Port Configuration page, under the Configuration
menu click Serial Ports. When you first access this page a list of ports, their
description, profile and serial configuration appears. (If the PES1A/PESV1A
has not yet been configured for the first time the Profile column may indicate
<Unassigned>.)
To access detailed settings for the PES1A/PESV1A serial port, click Port 1.
The Serial Port Configuration page that appears includes three sections
with hyperlinked menu bars.
• Port Profile Settings
• Basic Serial Settings
• Advanced Serial Settings
Port Profile Settings
The Port Profile Settings section displays the current serial port mode of
operation, a description of that profile and a hyperlink to Change Profile…
Click the Change Profile… menu bar to open the Select Port Profile page.
Any of eight possible serial port profiles can be selected.
