TCP/IP network settings
Prior to the gateway being installed and connected to a live control network, it should be
configured with an IP address, as well as other TCP/IP network settings.
Request the following configuration items from the network administrator:
 Specify an IP address, or use a DHCP server
 Hostname
 Domain Name
 IP address
 Netmask
 Gateway
Obtaining an IP address from a DHCP server is not recommended, since the Gateway operation
will be dependent upon the availability of the DHCP server. For maximum gateway availability it
is best practice to specify an IP address.
Use caution when making changes to the TCP/IP network settings. If they are lost or
improperly configured, it may be impossible to log into the Gateway. Contact the network
administrator for information on the proper TCP/IP network settings to apply.
