IP Settings

The IP Settings section allows you to select between dynamic or static IP addressing. The PES1A/PESV1A’s default setting is Obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP, or dynamic IP addressing.

When the PES1A/PESV1A is first connected it will try to obtain an IP address automatically. If it fails, it will assign an IP address to itself using the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. You can re-configure the PES1A/PESV1A for static IP address by selecting Use the following IP address and assign the IP address yourself.

If Use the following IP address: is selected, you are choosing static IP addressing. When this option is selected the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway text boxes become available. You must determine the appropriate parameters and enter them yourself. (If you do not know what to enter ask your network administrator for assistance.)

To implement any changes in this section, click Apply. A page will appear asking you to Reboot the PES1A/PESV1A so that the changes can take effect.

Network Services Settings

The Network Services Settings section allows you to enable or disable several common network services and configure their associated ports. Typically you will not have to change these settings.

Advanced Network Settings

The Advanced Network Settings section allows you to fine-tune the network connection. Typically these setting will not need to be changed.

Consult the web-based tutorial and/or your network administrator for more information on Network Services and Advanced Network settings.

Configuring the Serial Port

The Serial Port Configuration page displays information about the serial port on your PES1A/PESV1A, including its description, its profile (operating mode) and serial settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits). You will have to configure these parameters to set up your system for the type of operation required and to match the parameters of the serial device to which the PES1A/PESV1A is connected.

To open the Serial Port Configuration page, under the Configuration menu click Serial Ports. When you first access this page a list of ports, their description, profile and serial configuration appears. (If the PES1A/PESV1A has not yet been configured for the first time the Profile column may indicate <Unassigned>.)

To access detailed settings for the PES1A/PESV1A serial port, click Port 1. The Serial Port Configuration page that appears includes three sections with hyperlinked menu bars.
