Netmask
Default
255.255.255.0
Options
Netmask setting (e.g., “255.255.0.0”)
Description
This field is for the subnet mask. A subnet mask represents all of the network
hosts at one geographic location, in one building, or on the same local area
network. When a packet is sent out over the network, the WE-2100T module
will use the subnet mask to check whether the desired TCP/IP host specified in
the packet is on the local network segment. If the address is on the same
network segment as the module, a connection is established directly from the
module. Otherwise, the connection is established through the gateway as
specified in the “Gateway” parameter.
Gateway
Default
Options
IP address (e.g., “192.168.1.1”)
Description
This field is for the IP address of the gateway, if applicable. A gateway is a
network computer that acts as an entrance to another network. Usually, the
computers that control traffic within the network or at the local Internet service
provider are gateway nodes. The WE-2100T module needs to know the IP
address of the default gateway computer in order to communicate with the hosts
outside the local network environment. Consult your network administrator if
you do not know how to set this parameter.
Speed
Default
Auto
Options
Auto, 10Mbps Half, 10Mbps Full, 100Mbps Half, 100Mbps Full
Description
This field specifies the network speed for the built-in Ethernet connection.
IEEE802.3 Ethernet supports auto negotiation of transfer speed. However, some
switches/hubs require that the communication speed be fixed at 100Mbps or
10Mbps.
ATTENTION
In dynamic IP environments, the WE-2100T will send 3 requests every 30 seconds to the DHCP
or BOOTP server until the network settings have successfully been assigned. The first request
will time out after one second; the second request will time out after three seconds, and the third
request will timeout after five second. If the DHCP or BOOTP server is unavailable, the
WE-2100T will use the factory default network settings.
