The following network settings are available:
|
Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
|
DHCP |
If DHCP is enabled, the device obtains its network settings automatically. A DHCP server must be available in the local network. |
|
IP Address / Subnet Mask / Gateway |
Used for static IP configuration. Ensure that the subnet mask and gateway are configured correctly. A commonly used subnet mask is Without a valid gateway configuration, the device cannot communicate with the Internet. |
|
DNS Server |
DNS stands for Domain Name System. The DNS server translates hostnames, for example |
|
NTP Server |
NTP is used to synchronize the system time of network-enabled devices. If no connection to an NTP server is possible, the system time must be checked and adjusted manually. |
The configuration menu opens. The corresponding settings can be adjusted under Network.
Change the IP address settings as required.
To apply the settings, click Save Configuration.
The server on the device is restarted. If possible, the browser automatically reconnects using the new IP address.
Note
After changing the network configuration of the LOGIKMODULE, you may need to restore the original IP settings of your computer in order to access the device again.
Special Considerations When Using DHCP
If DHCP has been enabled for the LOGIKMODULE, use the BAB STARTER to determine the current IP address configuration of the device.
