WirelessHART Fieldgate SWG70 8 Fieldgate Configuration
Endress+Hauser 47
8.3.2 Ethernet
The parameters contained in this leaf pertain to the set up of the communication to the host via
Ethernet interface offered by Fieldgate SWG70.
1 Click on the Wired Communication => Interfaces => Ethernet to display the associated
parameters:
– The significance of the parameters can be taken from the table overleaf, whereby mandatory
parameters are highlighted by bold type
2 Enter the parameters, pressing Enter after each change
– Note: Automatic IP address assignment requires that there is a DHCP server in the
Ethernet network
3 Press the Write Ethernet Information button when all parameters have been changed
– The gateway will restart with the new parameters
– If the IP address was changed, communication will be lost
– If necessary, change your computer address and re-establish communication with the
new IP address as described in Chapter 7.2
– If you are using the HART IP CommDTM, reconfigure the communication paramters,
see Chapter 7.5.2 Step 4, before making connection again
