4.1 Introduction

The N8000 system controller can be connected to a TCP/IP-network via the Ethernet interface at its rear panel (see page 13). For further information on the principles of Ethernet and TCP/IP please see the chapter Ethernet principles on page 33 in the appendix of this document.

The N8000 comes with the following network configurations from the factory:

Parameter	Value
IP address	192.168.1.100
Subnet mask	255.255.255.0
Gateway	192.168.1.1
DHCP	deactivated

An IP address must be unique, it must only be allocated to one single device (host) in a network. In case a new Ethernet network is designed for the operation of the N8000, it is recommended to retain the subnet mask and network ID which had been set at the factory. If the N8000 is integrated in an existing Ethernet network, the network configuration of the N8000 must be adapted.

The preset IP address of the N8000 can be retained if and only if

•only a single N8000 with factory-set configuration is connected via Ethernet and

•the network ID 192.168.1 can be retained and

•no other devices have the Host-ID 100.

If at least one of these three conditions is not fulfilled, the preset IP address of the N8000 has to be changed.

Example:

The following illustration shows an example application with four NetMax N8000 in a closed network. These are networked with a PC via a central Ethernet switch. Thus, the factory preset
