11 Ethernet Interface Configuration
The Ethernet interface features described in this chapter are not used in
bridge mode. See section 12 for information on how to configure the bridge
interface to provide IP access to the EL-500 when operating in bridge mode.
The Ethernet interface is used to connect the EL-500 to a LAN. It is also used for initial
configuration of the device. The Ethernet interface IP address can either be acquired from a
DHCP server on the LAN or be set manually.
Figure 37. Wired interface parameters
11.1 DHCP
The EL-500 can be set to obtain an IP address for its Ethernet interface using DHCP. When
configured as a DHCP client, the EL-500 will continually attempt to contact a DHCP server
until it is successful.
If the DHCP mode is set to ‘client’, the IP configuration must be carried out manually, as
described in the next section.
