Configuring the 268XA

The network number of the device must match that of the gateway. For example, if the gateway IP address is 129.196.180.93, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the network number is 129.196.180.0, and the device IP address must be in the range 129.196.180.1 to 129.196.180.254.

Press the up/down arrow keys until dgAtE (default gateway) appears

in the primary display (COMM appears in the secondary display).

Press the ENTER key. dgAtE appears in the secondary display, and ON or OFF is in the primary display.

Press the up/down arrow keys to select either ON or OFF when in set

mode.

Press the ENTER key to make the selection (pressing any other key will cancel set operations.). If you select ON, the subnet mask appears. The subnet mask display consists of four 3 digit segments: Sub0. Sub1. Sub2. Sub3.

Press the left/right arrow keys to select the desired number in each segment. The selected digit is highlighted and the segment, for example Sub:0,

appears in the secondary display.

Press the up/down arrow keys to select the desired number 0 to 9, for the positioned subnet mask digit. In this manner, select all 12 subnet mask

digits.

Press the ENTER key to make the selection (pressing any other key will cancel set operations). If you enter an incorrect subnet mask, Error appears for 2 seconds, and the subnet mask selection stays displayed. Otherwise, the default gateway IP address appears. The default gateway display consists of four 3 digit segments: gAt0.gAt1.gAt2.gAt3.

Press the left/right arrow keys to select the desired number in each segment. The selected digit becomes highlighted and the segment, e.g. gAt:0, appears in the secondary display.

Press the up/down arrow keys to select the desired number 0 to 9, for the positioned default gateway IP digit. In this manner, select all 12 default gateway IP digits.

Press the ENTER key to make the selection (pressing any other key will cancel set operations). If you enter an incorrect default gateway IP, Error displays for 2 seconds, and the default gateway IP selection stays displayed. Otherwise, the procedure exits.
