Emerson E2 operation manual Set Up TCP/IP, TCP/IP Addressing

You can choose between an internal modem (one that is mounted directly on to the E2 circuit board (via the PC-104 slot in previous generation E2 circuit boards) or an external modem. If you have a modem, navigate to the COM3 Modem Port field and select Internal Modem. Press  (LOOK UP) for the Option List Selection screen.

Figure 10-17- TCP/IP Addressing

The TCP/IP screen is where you enter the information necessary to allow Ethernet connection to this controller. If this site uses Ethernet box-to-box, you will need to enter a TCP/IP address and a group name to allow all E2s on site to communicate as a group. See Section 7, E2 Ether- net Peer Communications for more information.

From the Main Menu:

1.Press (System Configuration)

2.Press  (Remote Communications)

3.Press (TCP/IP Setup) to advance to the TCP/ IP Setup screen

E2 units may be configured to communicate across an Ethernet computer network using TCP/IP protocol. To enable Ethernet communication, you will need to enter IP address information for the E2 in the Serial IP screen.

IP Address The IP Address field sets the network address for this E2. Other network devices (such as PCs running UltraSite) will communicate with this E2 by sending information to this specified address. Contact your network administrator to determine what IP address to enter.

The IP Address always consists of four numbers from zero to 255, each of which is separated by a period. Enter the address in this format.

Subnet Mask Contact your network administrator

to get the correct subnet mask value, and enter it in this field.

The default value, “255.255.255.0”, is the subnet mask commonly used for small networks.

Primary DNS Contact your network administrator to see if a Primary DNS value is required for this E2. If so, enter the Primary DNS address supplied by your administrator in this field. If not, leave this field set to “0.0.0.0”.

Secondary DNS Contact your network administra- tor to see if a Secondary DNS value is required for this E2. If so, enter the Secondary DNS address sup- plied by your administrator in this field. If not, leave this field set to “0.0.0.0”.

Primary Gateway Contact your network adminis- trator to see if a Primary Gateway value is required for this E2. If so, enter the Primary Gateway address supplied by your administrator in this field. If not, leave this field set to “0.0.0.0”.

Secondary Gateway Contact your network administrator to see if a Secondary Gateway value is required for this E2. If so, enter the Secondary Gate- way address supplied by your administrator in this field. If not, leave this field set to “0.0.0.0”.

DHCP Enabled Dynamic Host Communication Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that assigns a dynamic IP address to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device could have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. When set to Yes, DHCP Enabled keeps track of IP addresses and enables a new IP device to be added to a network without having to manually assign it a unique IP address. DHCP supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
