Setting Up the Controller Network Parameters

See the HC900 Hybrid Control Designer Users Guide, Doc. # 51-52-25-110 or respective HC Designer Help Files for setting up following network parameters:

IP Address, Subnet Mask (optional), Default Gateway IP Address (optional)

Network Name (optionally used in Peer Data Exchange)

Local Name (optional, user identifier for controller)

E-mail Server IP Address (required if e-mail alarms are configured)

ATTENTION

This setup will require the controller to be placed temporarily in the Program mode. After the new network parameters have been downloaded, the controller will conduct a Cold Start in its transition to RUN. This will cause an initialization if there is a current configuration in the controller.
