Linking Device FG-110 FF - Internal Web Server

4.5.1.2 <Configuration><Settings><Internet Protocol>

The Linking Device is delivered in a default configuration. To change the default internet protocol settings into assigned values of the chosen subnet in which the installation is running you click <Configuration><Internet Protocol>.

A table which enables you to change settings appears.

First you can click a button to <obtain an IP address from a DHCP server>. When you click this button the IP address is a random address chosen from the DHCP server. To find out the IP address of the Linking Device you can use the tool “Search and Configure” (SAG.exe) or the live list of the FF-CONF tool. Both tools are available on the CD-ROM or on the Softing homepage.

Fig 4.5-1 Configure the Internet Protocol

To keep the systems under your control click the button <Specify an IP address>. Underneath this button input fields become active to insert:

Domain name: configurable name for the domain

IP address: must be compatible with the subnet you choose for the PC setting, must be present in any case.

Net mask: default with 255.255.0.0, no change needed, must be present in any case.

Gateway: It is not necessary to configure a Default Gateway if the host and Linking Device share the same network.

Maintenance IP address: IP address of the connected PC in the same subnet. The Maintenance IP Address is required to download the Linking Device firmware from a maintenance server. The maintenance server is a TFTP server (Tiny File Transfer Protocol) that contains an image of the flash memory content of the Linking Device (it is also possible to download a file via the website). In that case it is not necessary to install a maintenance server and to specify its address.
