Manage the Switch via the Studio 5000 Environment Chapter 5
Switch Configuration
Properties
You can configure IP settings and administrative parameters from the Switch
Configuration tab. You must be online to perform these configurations. In
Offline mode nothing is displayed on this tab.
The IP address can be manually assigned (static) or it can be automatically
assigned by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The
default is Static. We recommend that you choose Static and manually assign the
IP address for the switch. You can then use the same IP address whenever you
want to access the switch.
• Static—Manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
• DHCP—The switch automatically obtains an IP address, default gateway,
and subnet mask from the DHCP server. As long as the switch is not
restarted, it continues to use the assigned IP information.
