Table 6-1 Step 1: LAN Configuration attributes
Attribute Meaning
IP Address Internet protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family
of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network.
All units are shipped with a default IP address of 169.254.1.1.
Change this default IP address to ensure that: (a) it is unique on
the network, and (b) the Master and Slave units have different IP
addresses.
Subnet Mask Defines the address range of the connected IP network.
Gateway IP Address The IP address of a computer on the current network that acts as
a gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance and exit to packets
from and to other networks.
Ethernet Auto-
Negotiation
When the box is ticked, it means that configuration is
automatically negotiated. This is the default setting.
When the box is not ticked, it means that configuration is forced.
Select the data rate that the auto-negotiation mechanism will
advertise as available.
Only select a data rate that is within the capability of connected
network equipment, otherwise loss of service may occur.
Use the same setting for both ends of the link.
The configuration should only be forced if problems are
experienced with auto-negotiation.
Instead of forcing configuration, the IEEE802.3 specification
recommends enabling Auto-Negotiation with only the specific
ability or abilities advertised.
