address of a particular node is 192.168.2.3 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, the subnet mask indicates that the first 24 bits of
the address represent the network address. The last 8 bits can be
used for individual node addresses on that network.
c) Assign Addresses to Field Device Access Points (Enable
DHCP Server): Select this check box to enable the WDM to act
as the DHCP Server. Ensure you do not select the check box if
the network has another DHCP Server. It is recommended to
enable the WDM to act as the DHCP Server.
d) Field Device Access Point IP Address: This option is enabled
only if you have selected the Enable DHCP Server check box.
Accept the default range or configure the IP address range
according to the network settings in the plant network. The WDM
that acts as the DHCP Server assigns IP addresses based on the
range specified. Ensure that the IP addresses of the Access
Points are not within the DHCP address range.
If you do not enable DHCP Server during the first time configu-
ration, it is possible to enable this at a later stage using the
Property Panel.
WARNING! DHCP server configuration option is disabled on a
secondary WDM.
11. Under Process Control Network (PCN), configure the process control network
settings as follows.
Process Control Network IP Address: The process control network
settings are used to configure the process control network Ethernet
connections for the WDM. This is used for communication with moni-
toring applications and external controllers.
Subnet Mask
Default gateway: Used to access the subnets outside the PCN
subnet. This is an optional configuration option.
