CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit
!CAUTION
Any appropriate gateway address can be used as long as the network is not con- nected to other networks. (However, use an IP address that has not yet been as- signed to other devices.)
When connecting the controller on an already existing network, always check with the network supervisor before making IP address, subnet mask and gateway set- tings.
The Ethernet unit uses a private address as the IP address default setting. This default value cannot be used as is on the Internet. So when connecting to the Internet, always be sure to change the IP address of the controller to a global address.
